The wharf is being rebuilt at a cost of £4m

Work on a wharf at a Cornish dockyard is on schedule to be complete by the autumn.
Queen's Wharf at Falmouth Docks was destroyed by fire in January.
It is now being rebuilt at a cost of £4m.
The work is being carried out by Plymouth-based engineering company Seastructures on behalf of the dock's owner, A and P Falmouth.
The new wharf will be 195 metres long and 18 metres wide.
Facilities will be improved and there will be greater crane space consisting of 120 steel piles - up to 26 metres long.
Once the new concrete deck is fully installed, finishing touches, including electrical services, are due to be in place by late August.
