  3. HARVEY’S FOUNDRY, HAYLE (1779-1903)LOCATION AND WORLD HERITAGE SITEPosition within the town and proximity to the Harbour 01 “This area has been a focus for settlement and maritime trade since prehistory. From at least the mid 18th century it developed into one of the County's main industrial ports, serving surrounding mines and becoming home to the Cornish Copper Company and two of Cornwall's three largest iron foundries. Internationally renowned for the scale of their work and the breadth of their engineering expertise, these rival companies (Copperhouse Foundry and Harvey's Foundry) were largely responsible for the expansion of Hayle during the 19th century, when they developed side by side. Despite both having ceased operation by 1903, Hayle continued to be a thriving port until the Second World War, when it served as a base for building ships and guns and producing bromide for aviation fuel. Though experiencing decline in the post war years it was active until the 1960s, but commercial shipping ceased in 1977, and the harbour now only supports a small fishing fleet. Some small-scale industrial activities continue, but the town is no longer an important industrial centre.” www.cornish-mining.org.uk Cornwall & Scilly Historic Environment Service 2008 World Heritage Site HAYLE Harvey’s Foundry

  4. HARVEY’S FOUNDRY, HAYLE (1779-1903)CHARACTER SUMMARYSignificant or Listed Buildings, and Conservation Area 02 “The important remains of the foundry complex represents the best surviving industrial group in the town and one of the best in Cornwall. The international importance of Harvey’s Foundry makes the survival and ongoing regeneration of the complex all the more important in the context of the World Heritage Site.” CSUS acknowledge that: “Regeneration Opportunities” exist to “celebrate the historic importance of Harvey’s Foundry”, to “address the negative impact of certain poorly designed buildings”, and to “enhance the special character of the area through public realm improvements”. www.historic-cornwall.org.uk CSUS Cornwall & Scilly Historic Environment Service 2008

  5. HARVEY’S FOUNDRY, HAYLE (1779-1903)PHASE 3 INTENTIONSSummary of Project Brief 03 • The regeneration of Harveys Foundry site in Hayle has seen a reverse in the decline of an important part of the town’s history through turning a decaying and underused area into a vibrant, mixed use, sustainable development. • The vision for Phase 3 is “to create a vibrant, viable destination for residents and visitors that uses heritage as the focus for the range of uses and contributes to the regeneration of Hayle”. • This Phase includes the reuse of most of the remaining impressive and historically significant buildings. The uses are to include: • Education/Heritage facility to present the history of the site and the town of Hayle, also providing flexible exhibition/performance space and a place for learning/education – possibly using the Granary/Foundry Barn and Engine House. • Open Access Museum Store to provide an Archaeological and Research Centre for Museums/Collections across Cornwall – possibly a new building on the former Foundry site, and current Bookers site. • Managed ‘Grow on’ Workspace for fledgling businesses – possibly using Plantation Stores, the Pattern and Wagon Sheds. • Community Space • Exhibition Space • Possible Café with Associated Retail

  7. HARVEY’S FOUNDRY, HAYLE (1779-1903)EXISTING SITE AND BUILDINGSPhases of Project, Listed Buildings and Infrastructure 05 Phase 1 included the redevelopment of John Harvey House, creating a base for Harvey’s Foundry Trust, and the construction of Dowren House to provide 8,000 sq. ft. of stylish new office space. Phase 2 focused on the restoration and preservation of Foundry Farm to provide 13 no. workshops with an arts/craft bias in the former West Stables, workshop and Fire Engine House, and 3 no. live/work units within the former East Stables. Phase 3 needs to compliment the previous regeneration Phases 1 & 2. It is also clear from early development work that some elements will take longer to develop than the rest of the site due to the sitting tenant on the land and the complex nature of the project requirements.
