Architectural design & build in Mevagissey

Mevagissey is a working fishing port south of St Austell, with the second-busiest fishing fleet in Cornwall and an exceptionally dense Conservation Area of slate-hung cottages around its inner and outer harbours. Conservation Area covers the entire historic harbour area; AONB across most of the parish. Slate-hung walls and traditional sash windows are the design baseline; modern alterations face high scrutiny.
