Misty Monday

A small part of Newlyn was flooded during the evening as torrential rain filled the streets, a sluice gate had been left shut by the Doctor's surgery. The fire service attended and quickly remedied the situation!

Crabber, Fleur de France, barely visible in the increasingly heavy rain, heads in past the Mount.
Brixham beamer, Lady T Emiel leaves through the gaps and heads out to the bay in the heavy mist.

Without her propellor, the WSS is towed to the waiting slipway cradle.

Newlyn Fish market & harbour model unveiled!

Visitors to Newlyn Mission can see the latest plans and a detailed model of the harbour as it could look in the future. Pringle Richards Sharratt has been appointed by Penwith District Council to develop the design of the new fish market at Newlyn to RIBA stage C. The exhibition is open from 8am to 8pm today (Friday 16 June) and Saturday 17 June.

At this rate Newlyn will have its new marina pontoon system in place by the weekend!

Procreating pontoons!

A tier of punts overlook the new pontoons - in a few days the mackerel handliners will be able to 'walk to work' instead on struggling down the quay ladders and across the decks of all the other punts!

W Stevenson's largest beamer, the Daisy Christianne takes a berth on the end of the new quay to overhaul both sets of gear.
