If you are visiting Newlyn this coming Easter weekend be sure to make some time to visit a gem of a private collection of fishing memorabilia. Housed in Newlyn's old Board School and, like many similar private museums, Billy Stevenson's collection offers a very personal and close view of the local fishing industry - many of the huge family photographic collection were taken by the man himself. The museum is open from 10am to 4pm this Saturday.
