As a proud member of the Newlyn Association, a Councillor for Newlyn, Mousehole, and Paul, and a Newlyn native born and raised in the heart of the fishing community, I hold deep connections to our harbour and its traditions. Growing up, the Old Harbour was a vibrant hub of activity, where fishermen worked tirelessly on the harbour, the market, and beyond—many of whom still do today.
For me, the Old Harbour is filled with cherished memories of childhood—fishing, swimming, and witnessing its life as a bustling working harbour. That’s why I’m deeply passionate about seeing it revitalized to reflect the thriving, hardworking spirit that once defined it.
