Kowethas Ertach Kernow is a small organisation that promotes and shares Cornish heritage through its website, social media, newspaper articles, and illustrated talks. The vast majority of this is carried out without charge and personally funded by its Director. Kowethas Ertach Kernow is based at Newquay Museum in central Newquay, which our organisation also helps to support.

Towan Vintage was set up to help fund this Cornish heritage project. This includes the sale of preowned books on Cornwall and general subjects. More recently in collaboration with Proper Photography Kernow printing services has been added to the activities. This allows us support Newquay Museum through printing posters, images and other exhibition material. 

There have been enquiries about some of the images used in our newspaper articles published in the Newquay, Truro and St Austell Voice editions, Cornish Times and Cornish & Devon Post. This includes vintage maps, paintings and images from the personal Kowethas Ertach Kernow collection. To satisfy and encourage interest we are in the process of setting up a 'Print to Order' shop section where a variety of prints can be ordered from the Towan Vintage website shop. This will also include contemporary photographic images from local photographers helping support young people in Cornwall who have work to sell.
