A project to develop one of West Cornwall's most important pieces of history has taken a big step forward thanks to more than £1.5 million in grants.
Described as the home of the “Victorian internet” and a vital hub of global communications for over 100 years, Porthcurno Telegraph Museum is now the site of one of the county's most popular museums.
Now, thanks to a £1.44 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and another £125,000 from the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS)/Wolfson Fund, the museum near Land's End can finally reveal plans for an ambitious development project to preserve and celebrate its unique heritage.
