Surfin' @ The Monkey House - a photo on Flickriver

            A look back at Portreath and the Monkey house on the pier - on this day the weather was warm and sunny . However , the sea was a different kettle of fish with some waves crashing over the Monkey House at the end of the harbour entrance . With waves like can be seen in the first comment box there were still surfers and swimmers out there - and so close to the pier wall as well !! The shot and the one in the first comment box were taken only two minutes apart !!
     The Monkey House or Hut  dates back to the days when Portreath was a busy port, shipping copper out and coal in. Whilst the harbour was important the entrance was still treacherous. The Monkey House (although not known as that in those days) was used for shelter by the harbour pilots who would wave flags or lanterns to guide ships into harbour, or warn away if conditions were too dangerous.
