To mark the 200th anniversary of The Westmorland Gazette in 2018, we are publishing a photograph from our archives on our website every day this year.

Today's photograph shows the Mayor of Kendal Avril Dobson opening the first ever Westmorland Beer Festival at the Brewery's Malt Room in Kendal in 1994.
