NEW FILM ABOUT NEWLYN’S FORMER ICE WORKS!

A new film about Newlyn’s imposing Former Ice Works has been made for Newlyn FISH Trust by Barbara Santi of Awen Productions CIC

This fascinating short film highlights the historical importance of the ice works and the results of recent professional studies of the building and its machinery, alongside interviews with local people, including two of its former employees.

The film is part of an initial phase of Project Development aimed at moving the Trust closer to acquiring and converting the Former Ice Works into a fishing heritage centre, with uses for the rest of the building designed to generate sufficient funds for its long-term maintenance.

Spring has sprung, with a cherry tree in blossom where boats once moored.

This is Keel Alley in the heart of historic Newlyn. Hard to believe now that it was previously a tidal inlet open to the sea.

Join Heritage Adventures this Summer for an EXPLORE NEWLYN guided walk over dry land where the sea once flowed!

Keep an eye out for updates as we develop our 2022 tour schedule and booking becomes available on our website.

And look out for my next post, to find out about the old building hiding behind the blossom…
