Welcome to Through the Gaps, the UK fishing industry's most comprehensive information and image resource. Newlyn is England's largest fish market and where over 50 species are regularly landed from handline, trawl, net, ring net and pot vessels including #MSC Certified #Hake, #Cornish Sardine, handlined bass, pollack and mackerel. Art work, graphics and digital fishing industry images available from stock or on commission.
Those who were around in the mid-70s may well remember the scalloping bonanza in Falmouth (some of the protagonists were the Sea Eagle - LT363, Forelle of Purbeck - P600, Guiding Star CN96)- especially the summer of '76 when those who slaved away on deck shovelling dredge loads of scallops prayed for rain or at least some sort of breeze to cool them down - will no doubt recall that many of their scallops ended up at the scallop packing plant on Falmouth Wharf.
Things are different now and this coming Bank Holiday weekend will see the grand opening of the latest Art Space to grow from an unused or abandoned building in the county. The Fish Factory Art Space will provide a huge working space for contemporary Cornish artists and a public gallery. The opening night sees the wraps come off the canvases at 6pm Saturday May 28th along with a free drink and an invite to see the work of Diggy Smerdon, Sophie Capron and Martiens Bekker and inspect the working gallery space.
