Roger Little, a more recent owner, used to own a shop on the corner opposite the 'studio' of the late Tony Warren, marine artist, Arwenack Street, Falmouth. He now races Bubbly with Brian Angove as crew, and has kindly offered to loan for scanning, a collection of news cuttings and images which he has collected over the years.
