Architectural design & build in Newlyn

Newlyn is the largest fishing port in England by value of catch, immediately south of Penzance, with the Newlyn School artistic legacy still visible in studios and galleries above the harbour. The Newlyn Conservation Area covers the harbour, Fore Street and the steep granite-cottage lanes above. Working-port character means industrial and maritime uses sit cheek by jowl with residential — material and overlooking arguments are common.
