The Strand Newlyn - workspace development proposals

 Plenty to read and look at in the Mission's Nora Bolitho room........

 with extensive plans for developing commercial workspaces on and around the Strand in Newlyn

"Welcome to this public exhibition for workspace opportunities on The Strand, Newlyn Cornwall Development Company is managing this European
Regional Development Fund Convergence project to identify opportunities for new workspace along The Strand in Newlyn.
The aim is to test a number of project ideas that have been suggested, undertaking some feasibility work and making recommendations to building owners.  The objective is to ensure that these will complement the fishing operations in the harbour and provide additional work opportunities
for Newlyn. A planning framework will also be produced to establish a context for future changes considering other issues including traffic, movement and the environment."

We invite your feedback by completing the comments form 
or emailing consultation@cornwalldevelopmentcompany.co.uk......

as ever, the Mission was rammed with people on Friday lunch time!

Golden Helen Glover rides high through Newlyn and Penzance

Penlee lifeboat Ivan Ellen had a busy day - although her excursions to sea were not in anger unlike 83 lifeboat stations in the last 24 hours! - after picking up Olympic medallist Helen Glover from Penzance Harbour she made a quick dash to Mousehole......... 

 before returning to  Newlyn ......

 to drop Helen off in Newlyn in front of the lifeboat house.......

 for her ride in an open top bus through Newlyn and Penzance.........

accompanied by some of the local torch bearers.

Pulling pints and punters at the Tolcarne Inn

You get what it says on the tin - or in this case the sign outside the pub - in the safe hands of Ben Tunnicliffe, the Tolcarne Inn is now in the business of serving a seriously succulent seafood menu from Tuesday to Saturday - with the summer season in full swing it's probably best to play safe and make a booking if it's going to be an evening out - check here for more details........

there's a growing choice of fine beverages as befits a pub that serves fine food at a reasonable price......

behind the scenes the Tunnicliffe filleting knife is in full flow furiously prepping for the lunchtime covers - and with Newlyn Fish market less than distance you could hurl a haddock or toss a turbot these fillets don't come any fresher!.

A brighter morning but still pretty fresh out to sea

Unable to keep a safe berth in Penzance, the Scillonian III makes her way back to Penzance after spending all night anchored up in Gwavas Lake (the area of Mount's Bay off Newlyn).......

with the fleet blown in there was a wide range of very fresh fish on the market this morning.....

good to see white coats being worn by some of the buyers on the market #professional........

hopefully, the mobile, wirelessly connected scales will be working soon.......

magnificent megs from the William.......

moorish line caught mackerel........

and pristine plaice from the St Georges.......

time to take bait for the crabber.......

an Olympic legacy, looks like Rowse's team GB .........

new gear ready for a first dip in preparation for the Emma's first trip........

not long to the best Fish Festival in the West......

after taking bait and despite the gales forecast, Capn'n Nudd takes the Intuition off to sea.......

these parked cars all received a good soaking when the road was closed last night.......

as Penzance Promenade will testify - plenty of free fertiliser for those gardeners able to get down with a bag or tow!

Wintry look - but fine weather on the way

 Hours of heavy seas have given the prom a look more associated with winter - let's hope the pebbles that litter the flagstones are cleared a little quicker than earlier this year.......

not the safest place for youngsters #whenwillpeoplelearn.
