"They'd have come up here and had cream teas on the lawn" - we visit the historic Anchor Studio in Newlyn

Part-stone and part-timber, Anchor Studio looks out over Newlyn and St Michael's Mount, and provides breathtaking views of the entire bay.

The place almost groans with history, and has provided a space for artists to work for more than 100 years.

At one point, there was a danger that the studio could fall into disrepair - but thanks to your generosity and hard work, the building is once more alive with art.

Local historian Barry West and Chris Hibbert from the Borlase Smart John Wells Trust have been explaining more to our weekend presenter Jack Murley.
