The scaffolding and temporary roof are the most obvious signs of a building project under way. This was especially true at Porthmeor, and it could be seen from vantage points all over St Ives.
Porthmeor is a complicated and restricted site, bounded on two sides by neighbouring buildings, a busy road on the third side and the beach on the fourth. This was an impressive scaffolding exercise, especially considering the site constraints and area it had to oversail in a single span.
Construction work was carried out in two phases, and the scaffolding and temporary roof was dismantled and re-erected between phases.
