Event Invitation: Celebrate the Storm Tower’s New Chapter
Bude-Stratton Town Council is thrilled to invite the community to celebrate the successful relocation and rebuilding of the iconic Storm Tower at Compass Point.
This event is set to take place on Tuesday 5th March, St Piran’s Day, beginning at 2pm.
Everyone in the community is welcome to join in the festivities.
Saving the Storm Tower from Coastal Erosion
Faced with the challenges of coastal erosion, the decision was made not just to save the Storm Tower, but to secure its future. Through a remarkable engineering feat, the tower was meticulously dismantled stone by stone and rebuilt further inland, ensuring its preservation for generations to come. This project stands as a testament to our commitment to safeguarding our local history while adapting to the challenges posed by our natural environment.
Join us at the St Piran’s Day Opening Ceremony
The opening ceremony on St Piran’s Day, a day of great importance to the Cornish community, is a fitting occasion to unveil the reborn Storm Tower. It symbolises resilience, innovation and the collective spirit of Bude’s people. Attendees will have the chance to see the tower in its new location, a move that represents a proactive approach to heritage conservation in the face of changing landscapes.
Bude-Stratton Town Council warmly invites all to be part of this special occasion. This event is not only a celebration of the successful preservation of a beloved landmark but also an opportunity for the community to come together in a shared sense of pride and achievement.
We look forward to seeing you all there as we mark a new chapter in the story of the Storm Tower at Compass Point!
