Mac Waters Collection
Description
An account of the resource
Mac Waters has amassed thousands of postcards and images, spanning over 150 years and covering the length and breadth of Cornwall.
Mac is a Cornishman who is imbued with ceaseless enthusiasm and energy for all things Cornish and the preservation of Cornish heritage. Born in St Blazey Gate, as a young boy he remembers helping the Endeen and Matthews families seine fishing in St Austell Bay. He joined the Merchant Navy and by the time he was 21 he had sailed around the world! He later worked for English China Clay at Parkandillick for 34 years.
Mac has been gathering his collection for over 30 years. It features Cornish village and town scenes, churches, landmarks and the Isles of Scilly. It also illustrates aspects of social history and Cornish industry, including shipping, shipwrecks, and lifeboats. Some of the images are extremely rare. Of particular interest are the photographs of the same place, taken from the same angle, through the ages.
Mac speaks regularly to Cornish community gatherings using his postcards and images as a talking point. His collection is a unique record of Cornwall’s social history through the last 150 years.
Mac is a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedh, his bardic name is “Cunteller an Brewyon” “Gatherer of the Fragments”.

Paul Yockney Collection
Description
An account of the resource
The Yockney Collection is a superb record of Cornish life in the 1980's as captured by press photographer Paul Yockney.
Paul began his photographic career in the Royal Navy, taking photographs of vessels and aircraft from his base at RNAS Culdrose. He went on to become a prolific press photographer contributing weekly to local newspapers. The Collection comprises of the photographs he took for press use from the late 1970s until the late 1980s. The images were predominantly taken in the Helston and Lizard area but extend to other areas including Falmouth, Truro, Camborne and Redruth.
Competitors proudly displaying their prizewinning livestock, elaborate carnival floats and daring boxing day swimmers reveal a Cornwall, rich in community activity. Paul demonstrates his own wicked sense of humour capturing quirky events, otherwise forgotten, such as a dog spontaneously joining in football match in Porthleven and 'Teasy' the runaway bull, rampaging through the streets after escaping from the Helston Fatstock Show.
Paul also covered the more serious events of the period and the emergency services are featured carrying out cliff-top rescues, putting out fires and risking their lives in rough seas.
Paul made careful notes about each of his photos at the time they were taken and these are an invaluable addition to the collection. The Yockney Collection is a window on a decade well within living memory, providing an honest and entertaining record of the 1980's.
Photographic prints from the Yockney Collection can be purchased upon request, please contact us with your requirements.
