The maps below show a harbour in 2000 and how it looks today. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The provided maps illustrate the Porth Harbour in two distinct time frames namely currently and in the year 2000.
Overall
, it can be seen that there are some new features today
such
as cafes and shops, new showers and toilets and an additional passenger ferry in comparison with the past.
Furthermore
, we clearly notice some relocations and renovations including the changing place of the fishing boats' section with the Marina and turning the castle into a
hotel
over the period given.
Firstly
, similarities are great since the harbour remained in the same location and solely faced developments and renovations.
Also
not only was the abandoned castle renovated into a
hotel
but
also
the public beach next to it turned to private ownership and is dedicated to
hotel
guests. The two car parks stay at their place but the connection from the main road to the southern car park is removed and a new connection to the road in the south is introduced.
Moreover
, the southern road is extended to the
hotel
as well.
Secondly
, the northern public beach remained intact,
for example
, and we currently have three docks and passenger ferries
instead
of two in 2000. The newly constructed showers and toilets are located in the north of the bigger car park in the southwest of the plan.
Additionally
, fresh cafes and shops are installed on the left side of the lifeboats.
