Title
A name given to the resource
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”.

Title
A name given to the resource
Paddy Bradley Collection
Description
An account of the resource
<p class="western">Paddy Bradley collated the definitive collection of historic images of the town of Redruth and surrounding areas.</p>
<p class="western">Amongst his archive are thousands of postcards and images dating back to the late 1800s. Many of the postcards were published by local people who were responsible for developing the use of photography in Cornwall. One of the photographers featured in the Bradley Collection is E.A. Bragg of Illogan, whose photographs 'stand out' in terms of the quality of composition and clarity.</p>
<p class="western">Local photographers of this period often took photographs of the towns and villages near their homes and many of the postcards show shop fronts selling all manner of wares. They also captured early modes of transport such as bicycles, traction engines, charabangs and even a chip van. Community events were a focus too and Paddy amassed an impressive number of images relating to tea treat events in the area.</p>
<p class="western">The Bradley Collection also contains images relating to the significant industrial heritage of the Redruth area. There are prints relating to the railway and tramways such as the Mineral Tramway running from Portreath to Devoran.</p>
<p class="western">Paddy possessed an in-depth knowledge of his subject and his research accompanies the images displayed within this collection. His books, featuring archive images from the collection, can be purchased from local booksellers or online.</p>
<p class="western">Paddy Bradley was a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedh, his bardic name is 'Lywans Cuntellyor Resruth' which means 'Collector of Pictures of Redruth'. Paddy Bradley passed away in 2019. <br /><span>Postcards and photographs can also be viewed by browsing the images available through the statutory archive </span><a href="https://kresenkernow.org/">kresenkernow.org </a><span>which holds the collection.

Description
An account of the resource
<p class="western">Paddy Bradley collated the definitive collection of historic images of the town of Redruth and surrounding areas.</p>
<p class="western">Amongst his archive are thousands of postcards and images dating back to the late 1800s. Many of the postcards were published by local people who were responsible for developing the use of photography in Cornwall. One of the photographers featured in the Bradley Collection is E.A. Bragg of Illogan, whose photographs 'stand out' in terms of the quality of composition and clarity.</p>
<p class="western">Local photographers of this period often took photographs of the towns and villages near their homes and many of the postcards show shop fronts selling all manner of wares. They also captured early modes of transport such as bicycles, traction engines, charabangs and even a chip van. Community events were a focus too and Paddy amassed an impressive number of images relating to tea treat events in the area.</p>
<p class="western">The Bradley Collection also contains images relating to the significant industrial heritage of the Redruth area. There are prints relating to the railway and tramways such as the Mineral Tramway running from Portreath to Devoran.</p>
<p class="western">Paddy possessed an in-depth knowledge of his subject and his research accompanies the images displayed within this collection. His books, featuring archive images from the collection, can be purchased from local booksellers or online.</p>

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”.

Paddy Bradley Collection
Description
An account of the resource
<p class="western">Paddy Bradley collated the definitive collection of historic images of the town of Redruth and surrounding areas.</p>
<p class="western">Amongst his archive are thousands of postcards and images dating back to the late 1800s. Many of the postcards were published by local people who were responsible for developing the use of photography in Cornwall. One of the photographers featured in the Bradley Collection is E.A. Bragg of Illogan, whose photographs 'stand out' in terms of the quality of composition and clarity.</p>
<p class="western">Local photographers of this period often took photographs of the towns and villages near their homes and many of the postcards show shop fronts selling all manner of wares. They also captured early modes of transport such as bicycles, traction engines, charabangs and even a chip van. Community events were a focus too and Paddy amassed an impressive number of images relating to tea treat events in the area.</p>
<p class="western">The Bradley Collection also contains images relating to the significant industrial heritage of the Redruth area. There are prints relating to the railway and tramways such as the Mineral Tramway running from Portreath to Devoran.</p>
<p class="western">Paddy possessed an in-depth knowledge of his subject and his research accompanies the images displayed within this collection. His books, featuring archive images from the collection, can be purchased from local booksellers or online.</p>
<p class="western">Paddy Bradley was a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedh, his bardic name is 'Lywans Cuntellyor Resruth' which means 'Collector of Pictures of Redruth'. Paddy Bradley passed away in 2019. <br /><span>Postcards and photographs can also be viewed by browsing the images available through the statutory archive </span><a href="https://kresenkernow.org/">kresenkernow.org </a><span>which holds the collection.
