The apartment block under construction is being built to be rented to local people, most of whom cannot afford to buy anywhere to live in the local area due to incomers being able to pay far higher prices than local people can afford. This is a common problem in many rural areas of Great Britain. The derelict industrial building behind is a reminder that Hayle was a leading industrial town in the 19th century.
