Here we look back at the recent chequered history of Hayle Harbour.
Tekoa, DeSavery, Rosshill and Carruthers.
When Harvey & Co was bought by United Builders Merchants in 1969 it heralded a period of dramatic decline for Hayle harbour. In a period of 15 years, the port was closed to commercial traffic, the Harbour railway line was axed and the power station was mothballed.
The final blow came in 1983 when the harbour was auctioned off in 10 lots for redevelopment and was purchased by Tekoa who proceeded to clear the site. The Tekoa plans were presented but never agreed and by the time the scheme collapsed many of the items of historical interest were gone.
