Fishermen on the Lizard Peninsula say they have been left blown away by the response to a fundraising appeal to buy three historic buildings – and save the area s fishing industry in the process. The old buildings are at Cadgwith Cove, used by the fishermen landing at the harbour to store their gear and process their catch. They also house a popular art gallery and two shops selling fresh fish, while in the summer the hugely popular fish barbecues are held outside them. The Cadgwith Fishing Cove Trust was formed to help save the buildings, but never in their wildest dreams could the organisers foresee that a crowdfunding appeal would go on to raise more than three quarters of the £300,000 needed, in just over a fortnight.
