College to provide homes for students Plans were announced for the first purpose built halls of residence for Falmouth College of Arts in the heart of the town. They are to be built behind the old police station and Argos. Part of the land, off Berkeley Vale, was once owned by Riders Garage. It does not include the old police station although the scheme is expected to enhance the chances of that listed site being sold in the future. It is hoped to start work soon and complete the development by 1997. 25 years April 4

Cornish metalsmith Shelley Anderson is keeping the art coppersmithing alive - and his work is earning him international attention.
Born and brought up in West Cornwall, Shelley first started toying with metal in his dad’s garage. This eventually led him to Falmouth College of Art to train in Silversmithing and Metal Fabrication.
To fund his studies, he designed and produced a range of jewellery and marine life sculptures, including lobsters and swordfish, made entirely from recycled cutlery. A QEST Scholarship supported him during an apprenticeship at Newlyn’s The Copper Works in 2011 and since then he has worked on pieces for Disney, Harrods and Hilton amongst others, and regularly teaches.
