Abstract: |
Results of a desk-based assessment and walkover carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Perren, Mr. M. Sutcliffe and Mrs. P. Whetter for land off Mountlea Drive, St Blaise, West Par, Cornwall. This survey was undertaken in advance of plans to develop the site for residential use. The site is adjacent to a ruinous engine house that formed part of the Par Consols Mine (Treffry North Shaft), the foundations of which extend into the proposal area. The plot also includes the base of a chimney and a small, half-buried structure adjacent to Underlay Shaft. This suite of structures is by no means remarkable in a Cornish context, and numerous better-preserved examples could be cited. However, Par Consols was developed by Joseph Treffry and these structures are among the few relating to that mine to survive. Treffry was a leading industrialist of the first half of the 19th century, whose achievements in the Luxulyan Valley have been accorded World Heritage status, so they have clear associational value. |
