A huge thank you to everyone who joined us on Wednesday for Heritage Open Days at the Island Blockhouse, Huer’s Hut and St Leonard’s Chapel.

It was fantastic to welcome so many visitors, hear your stories and see such enthusiasm for St Ives’ heritage. At the Island Blockhouse, over 400 people came through the door, with lots of interest in the building, its history, the Leach fireplace and its connections to artist Borlase Smart. Many visitors also commented on how pleased they were to see the building being cared for.

Huer’s Hut was also busy, with visitors keen to discover more about its fascinating history and future. It was a rare opportunity to step inside a building that has had little active use since the decline of the pilchard fishing industry in the early 20th century.

📽️ Missed Huer’s Hut? You can still discover more about its story on Wednesday 23 September at 2.30pm at the Cornerstone. A short film about the history of the pilchard fishing industry, including a re-enactment of the Huer in action at the Hut, will be followed by a talk from architect Matt Williams of Lavigne Lonsdale about how the Hut could be sustainably re-used to help secure its long-term future.
