Porthcurno Telegraph Museum


From 1870 to 1970 Porthcurno was the hub of international cable communications. During World War II Cornish miners dug secret tunnels to house the entire telegraph operations underground in order to secure them from enemy attack. The centre was subsequently classified as a heritage site and granted lottery funding to enable the tunnels to be restored and converted into a museum, part of which houses the Cable & Wireless collection of historical communication equipment.

We were the lead consultants providing concepts, feasibility study and fundraising presentation followed by design of gallery, exhibition layout, display structures and showcases, interactive design, and graphics. We then provided the 3D detail package, tender documentation, project management, cost control, risk assessment and health and safety and supervision of production and installation.
