After suffering damage during the winter storms, the history quay in Gorran Haven needs major work to keep it standing.
The Gorran Haven Harbour Trust had to raise £120,000 to repair the quay, with £40,000 provided by the trust and £80,000 needed from donations to reach this total. After a “magnificent” community effort, that target has been reached, with fundraising continuing for a few more weeks to create a reserve for future repair work.
We spoke to Geoff Fox, chair of the harbour trust, about Gorran Haven’s fishing heritage, this location and how the community have helped raise the funds needed to make the essential repairs.
