Abstract: |
Planning application NR/08/00355/CC ENV was submitted on the 23rd July 2008 and was to undertake Phase 1 of highway improvement works (including widening) on Dudnance Lane, Station Road and Wilson Way and adjacent side roads and to construct a new road between Station Road and Wilson Way at Carn Brea Lane. Consent for the new road scheme was subject to Planning Conditions, including the requirement for historic building recording along the Wilson Way-Dudnance Lane road. This was an area of previous archaeological assessment, the key finding of which was to record the historic settlement of Penhellick prior to its demolition. Although the place-name of Penhellick can be traced back to the 14th century (1314) the site investigation revealed no traces of any medieval or early post-medieval remains. What was discovered however was the substantial survival of a late 18th century house, clearly carefully designed for a middle class family and their servants. The exterior of this early house was largely disguised with painted cement render, modern windows and doors, and re-roofing with modern artificial slates. This principal house was accompanied by remains of another stone-built dwelling, of most likely early 19th century date, plus outbuildings dating from the middle years of the 19th century. Mid-19th century Census Returns for the area revealed the names of the families living here. The association of the principal house with the development of the West Cornwall Railway to Carn Brea Station is of note, as the head of the household in 1851 was described as a Railway Engine Maker. All historic buildings in this complex were eventually demolished as part of the development. |
