Newlyn 1875

1875 Ordnance survey map of Newlyn; the North pier was completed 1888, the south pier one year before. Note the beach route connection between the two parts of Newlyn (trepolpen's gallery has a picture of this).
130 years ago Newlyn would have been almost unrecognisable. No piers, no New Road, no Strand... What do the shaded area near the number 13 signify, I wonder? This is in the area of the art gallery and fisherman s statue today.
 
I believe the dark line to the left of the 13 was a ropewalk, and the line below the 13 was a row of cottages.
