PaddlingIt’s always a privilege to hear peoples stories and look at family photographs. The focus of this film is a very special family album that documents Cornwall in 1907 through a 3 month long journey of 2 cousins who came from the USA to Cornwall to visit their family. In this short film, cousins Margaret and Eileen talk through us through some of the amazing photographs contained within this album, telling stories about the places, characters and families history.

This film was made for the Institute of Cornish Studies based at the University of Exeter. humanities.exeter.ac.uk/history/research/centres/ics/
