This website is not the property of Morwellham Quay or the Morwellham and Tamar Valley Trust. It is managed by Cornwall Media and Digital Imaging on behalf of Tamar Valley Heritage Group.
The purpose of this website is to provide relevant information to those with an interest in Morwellham Quay, and wider issues concerning the Tamar Valley and it’s important heritage value.
Here you will find information about the ownership and management of Morwellham Quay and the Morwellham and Tamar Valley Trust, it’s financial situation, environmental impact, and much more.
We hope that the information we provide will be of great interest and value to those planning to visit Morwellham Quay, potential employees and volunteers, but perhaps most importantly to the tax payers of Devon and Cornwall who’s taxes are being spent in preventing the financial failure of the Morwellham and Tamar Valley Trust.
This would have lead to the closure of Morwellham Quay, and been a major embarrassment to the ‘Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site’ project team, Devon County Council, West Devon Borough Council and other parish and district councils involved in the project or upon who’s land some of the project areas sit.
Tamar Valley Heritage Group are not opposed to the existence of Morwellham Quay as a museum site and fully recognises the importance of this and other sites in providing a vital educational resource and viable link to our local, national and international heritage.
The group is however concerned about the operational and financial management of heritage projects in the Tamar Valley, the lack of transparency, detrimental environmental impact, destruction of mine sites, self interest, irrelevant and inappropriate development and the apparent lack of accountability.
Membership of the Tamar Valley Heritage Group is free and open to all. Currently the group has a presence on Facebook where members can stay in touch with each other, post messages, discussion topics, photos, videos et.
All we ask is that you respect other members, refrain from using obscene language and keep your input relevant. You can access the group via the Links page.
