Images from a Historic Building Recording Survey at Storm Tower, Compass Point, Bude 2021

This collection comprises images from a historic building recording survey of the Storm Tower at Compass Point, Bude, in advance of it being dismantled and rebuilt at a new site. The work was undertaken by Cornwall Archaeological unit, commissioned by Donald Martin, Countryside Team Leader, Cornwall Council. The tower is a Grade II Listed building which is now in danger from cliff erosion. It is located on Efford Down, just to the west of Bude on a prominent spot overlooking the sea and historic harbour at NGR: SS 20046 06343. In order to mitigate against sudden loss of the building a historic building record equivalent to a Historic England level 3 building survey was undertaken by CAU along with a full measured survey and topographical survey of the building and its surroundings undertaken by Mark Trewin of Datumline Surveys.
