Newlyn Fish Box Museum.
While many people have time on their hands, Newlyn Harbourmaster, Rob Parsons is currently looking for both fish merchants and fishermen to help add to the harbour's growing collection of unusual fish boxes. In particular, he is after early wooden and cardboard examples as these seem to be in very short supply.
Donated boxes should be left by the harbour office with a label indicating an intention for the box(es) to be added to the museum collection.
A full list of existing box types and names will be available shortly.
