The photograph shows Tin Ghaut, adjacent to Grape Lane, currently used as a turning point for vehicles.
This is an artist’s sketch, illustrating how Tin Ghaut could look.
The turning circle would be formalised, and planting introduced, providing a space for new seating to enjoy views of the harbour.
Walking from Grape Lane and turning right there would be an archway that frames the view of the harbour, which would invite you to walk through it. There would be planting to the right and left.
To the right, the planting would be at ground level, edged with heritage-style cobbles. This planting would stand out against the red brick wall of the museum building. To the left there would be a low red brick wall planter (in keeping with the wall of the museum), edged with heritage-style cobbles. The walled planter provides a physical separation between people and vehicles that will use the space to turn around.
In the mid-ground, there would be upgraded railings to match the railings at New Quay Road. There would be tree planting by the railings to the left of the view to help disguise the views of Church Street car park, behind.
This is a plan view illustrating how the new arrangement at Tin Ghaut could look.
It shows that the tiled community art seating, currently located on New Quay Road, could be relocated here.
