Abstract:		 The Portreath to Poldice Minerals Tramway was of significant archaeological and historical importance because it was the first above ground railway to be constructed in Cornwall. Begun in 1809, during the growth of the Cornish mining industry, the tramway enabled an efficient link between the Port at Portreath and the mines in the Camborne/Redruth area. During the course of the historical assessment particular attention was paid to the area within the corridor of the historic tramway itself, although at times it was necessary to consider adjacent features such as disused mine shafts.[Au(abr)]
