The Besley Collection brings together images taken in Cornwall by professional photographer Andrew Besley.
Andrew built an international reputation producing stock library photographs, contributing to photo libraries around the world.

Andrew moved to west Cornwall in 1968 and was responsible for images that accompanied breaking news, such as the Fastnet yachting disaster of 1979.
