Frank McNichol and Honey Cellars
Honey Cellars was the home of Frank McNichol one of Cornwall's most prolific and well know painters,. He moved to Port Gaverne in 1966 and painted many scenes of Port Isaac and Gaverne throughout his life. Frank died in May 2003 aged 92. His work still adorns the walls of Honey Cellars and his 3 dimensional models of Port Gaverne can be found in the local inn. His work is treasured by collectors both locally and around the world.
Frank bought Honey Cellars in 1966 and, with the help of 2 local craftsmen, designed and remodeled it himself from a primitive single storey fish cellar into it's present day form with large, open plan living area and minstrel's gallery.
