Steve is a retired Plymouth professional photographer. Steve studied photography & cinematography at Plymouth College of Art and Design in the early 1970s, later moving on to a career of many years in industrial, commercial, scientific & technical photography. In 1996, in the early days of the Internet, Steve had formed “Cyberheritage” with its strap line “content over style” which quickly grew into a well-known and respected local heritage webpage. In recent years with the cost of web space ever increasing, the website moved onto Facebook where there is now a family of Cyberheritage pages covering varied heritage interests with a total of 30,000 followers. Currently Steve’s focus on local history is “Fortress Plymouth” & this forms the central theme of his occasional interpretational tours of Drake’s Island.
