Description
The Roundhouse and Capstan Gallery Sennen Cove in the far west of Cornwall.
This building, now an art gallery and souvenir shop, was probably built in the 18th century and made higher in the 19th century. The walls are built from granite rubble with tarred weather boarding above and a slate conical roof. The capstan, which was operated by a team of men to haul in fishing boats up the steep harbour slipway, is still inside on the ground floor. The boats are now brought home by machine.
