Engineers removed a balcony from the storm-damaged Kingsand clock tower after it was hanging on with one bolt.!

The balcony provided outstanding views of Cawsand Bay with its small fishing boats, lobster pot buoys and yachts.  Also of Penlee Point, a wooded rocky peninsular with its smuggling history. The Clock Tower has always been a special place, from cream teas in the summer months to yoga and get together functions during the winter
