The Former Ice Works, Newlyn

New short film about Newlyn's imposing Former Ice Works has been made for Newlyn FISH Trust. This fascinating short film highlights the historical importance of the ice works and the results of recent professional studies of the building and its machinery, alongside interviews with local people, including two of its former employees.

The film is part of an initial phase of Project Development (with grants from the Architectural Heritage Fund and Penzance Town Council) aimed at moving the Trust closer to acquiring and converting the Former Ice Works into a fishing heritage centre, with uses for the rest of the building designed to generate sufficient funds for its long-term maintenance.
