| Notes / History | The Mayor, accompanied by the new Charter Clerk, is pictured at the junction of the Broadway and Merton Road. During the Charter Day ceremony, Wimbledon was granted Borough status. Wimbledon had previously been considered an urban district; this change meant that Wimbledon was now governed by a borough council consisting of a mayor, six alderman, and eighteen councillors. |
