Back in 2001, Penlee House acquired the photographic archive of local press photographer, ‘Flash’ Harry Penhaul (1914 – 1957). Since then, we have been busy digitising the vast collection of over 6,000 prints and glass plate slides, staging exhibitions of his work every few years.
This latest one-room show will feature some previously unseen images of life in and around West Cornwall in the 1940s and 50s, alongside some of his most well-loved images.
