| Notes / History | Mitcham school pupils watching the official ceremony during which the Lord Lieutenant of Surrey awarded a charter to the new Mayor of Mitcham, Robert Masters Chart, so conferring Borough status on the former Urban District. The children were given time off their school work to watch the official ceremony and parade, and listen to speeches. There was also music, dancing and a sports display. Each child was presented with a lavender blue china mug, bearing the new Borough coat of arms, as a souvenir. |
