The Pier House...... by cutekitty

The Pier House......

....situated in Charlestown Harbour. The scaffolding is up because of a serious fire back in February, which started in the back kitchen and quickly spread to the upstairs guest rooms and the downstairs bars.....then into the adjoining Harbourside Bar. Staff and customers were all safely evacuated and it blazed for quite a while. They are hopefully going to reopen the downstairs bars for Easter and on through the summer, then close in September for a complete refit. Many thanks for your kind comments and FAV's on yesterdays pic and for placing it on the TP and PP :)
So sad that it was so badly damaged but so lucky everybody escaped.

@wakelys The owners (St Austell Brewery) say they will totally restore both buildings.

@rensala Yes indeed it does, has stood there for several hundred years in one form or another........a very popular place with the fisherfolk, sailors and labourers when the harbour was an important China Clay and Copper embarkation point.
