Busy end to the week in Newlyn.

Another glorious lightshow in Mounts Bay this morning..,.

fully appreciated by Tom watching over the fleet...

good to see the fish market getting an airing at the end of the week's auctions...

Friday morning also saw a visit by key personnel involved in the construction of the harbour's latest building...

with a guided tour of all three floors...

and a chance to talk with members of the build team who were happy to explain every feature of the building which will be home to Seafood Cornwall Training and the MMO...

NPHC Chairman Paul Durkin amonmgst others took to the top level of the scaffolding to enjoy the view across the busy harbour...

Friday also brought up a busy week down the Old Quay...

where a good section of the parapet wall has now been re-pointed with traditional lime mortar..

ready for next week the top section is being cleared of growth...

meanwhile the Red Lion slip has now been given a coat of aggregate before the  granite setts are laid next week...

over the weekend a band of volunteers were bust recycling eaten out by worm timber baulks from the Mary Williams pier...

which involved removal...

of the huge steel screws...

before the wood was planed...

to removal almost perfect timber - these will be used for seating down around the Old Harbour in due course - you can follow the restoration work here on the Old Harbour website.
