EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in the 1980s, Dr. David Owen MP (b.1938) is seen engaging in conversation with Andrew Besley at the South West Business and Industry Exhibition held in the picturesque town of St. Ives, Cornwall. Dr. Owen, a prominent British politician, wears a smart suit, striped shirt, and tie, exuding an air of authority and professionalism. Beside him stands Andrew Besley, a local photographer, who is proudly displaying some of his work at the exhibition. The exhibition, which showcased the best of business and industry in the South West, provided an excellent platform for local entrepreneurs and artists to showcase their talents. Besley's photographs, which were on display, captured the unique beauty and charm of Cornwall and its people. The exhibition provided an excellent opportunity for the public to engage with local businesses and artists, and for politicians like Dr. Owen to connect with the community. The photograph encapsulates the spirit of collaboration and creativity that thrived in Cornwall during the 1980s. It is a testament to the vibrant business and cultural scene that existed in the region during that era. Dr. Owen's political career spanned over three decades, during which he served as a Member of Parliament for several constituencies, including Plymouth Devonport and Haltemprice and Howden. He was also a key figure in the Liberal Party and played a significant role in the formation of the Social Democratic Party in 1981. Besley, on the other hand, continued to capture the essence of Cornwall through his lens, leaving a lasting legacy of stunning photographs that continue to inspire and delight viewers to this day.
