Celebrations as lock gate project completed at Charlestown Harbour in Cornwall

THE champagne flowed as a heritage harbour in #Cornwall celebrated the start of a new chapter.
Crowds packed into Charlestown, near St Austell, for the celebrations to mark the completion of a £3-million project to replace the inner harbour’s lock gate.
The new lock gate means the inner harbour, traditionally home to tall masted ships, will remain full of water at all times.
