Lobster World
During the mid-1980s, plans were submitted to build Lobster World close to the coastguard cottages. The plan was strongly opposed by local people, but despite this, the tourist attraction opened in 1986. Lobster World was a breeding centre for lobsters to be released into the wild. The attraction was not a commercial success and, in 1989, it was converted into a luxury four-bedroom house, where it was put on the market that year for £180,000.
