This (and every) Saturday, you are welcome to come and help with the work to bring back the Old Quay into regular use. Over the last few weeks, the bulk of the work to remove weeds and overgrowth, is all but complete.
Now, it is time to turn attention to the parapet stonework which, as can be seen in the image above, requires work on the lime pointing. Most of the centuries old pointing has been eroded away and now needs replacing. The first step is to thoroughly clean out any loose mortar from between the stones.
Everything you need to know about supporting the work to maintain this incredibly historic part of Newlyn can be found on the Old Harbour restoration project website.
Work begins 10am to 2pm - hot drinks available!
