REOPENING ON FRIDAY 20TH MARCH
IN REFLECTION
PHOTOGRAPHS, PEACEMAKERS, AND PACIFIST EMILY
Mark this special occasion with us on the 20th March 2026, the first day of Spring, when we officially open to the public.
The exhibition has been prepared in collaboration with our friends from the Story of Emily, and it has been made possible thanks to the Museum Development South West ‘Small Open Grant’ and ‘On Display!’ grant, Liskeard Town Council’s support, and last but not least – our visitors’ generous donations.
It’s been a long time coming… We can’t wait to finally share the results of nearly a year’s worth of work with you all.
About John Rapson
Rapson began as a wireless operator who served in the RAF in WW2 where he acquired a Zeiss camera leading to a forty-year career in Liskeard where he ran his photography studio from 1947 to 1987 capturing many important events as well as Liskeard’s history. He was extremely thorough in his record keeping and was an avid traveller as he explored Europe whilst taking photographs across his trips.
