Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to produce a heritage assessment for land at the Beachfront, Mawgan Porth, Cornwall. This work was undertaken on behalf of a private client as part of a proposed planning application for the construction of 16 open market residential units (14 new and 2 replacement), and 4 replacement commercial units. A desk-based assessment and site visit has been undertaken. In terms of heritage value, all the buildings on the site were constructed during the 20th century. The Bridge Café and the garage (B1) were constructed in 1934. B2 appears to have been built in the early 1950s; the large windows at the front are shown in the historic photographs and thus it may have been intended as a shop from the outset. B3 and B4 were built before 1972. B1 then appears to have been rebuilt and raised to two storeys, but on the same footprint, to form the current shop with domestic use above. There may be some limited evidential value (the possibility that mid-20th century fixtures or fittings may survive in the bungalow), and some communal and aesthetic value, but the principal value is historical (narrative). B1 was built, together with the Bridge Café, to cater to the tourists that began to frequent the area in ever-greater numbers from the 1930s. |
