Abstract: |
The proposed site lies within the parish of Perranzabuloe, within a long linear ribbon development known as Perrancoombe on the southern edge of Perranporth. This area fell within the bounds of the sub-manor of Penwartha, held under the Domesday Manor of Tywarnhayle, by the Pentires, Roscarrocks and, from the early 17th century, the Vyvyans. In 1840 the site formed one part of a smallholding leased to the corn miller Thomas Michell; in 1840 the field next to Michell's house was called Stamps Plot, but his house was located c.350m to the south of the proposed site. The proposed site is in the base of the valley just south-east of Treslow Farm. Perrancoombe Lane runs along the foot of the slope on the other side of the valley, just above a pronounced scarp. This appears to be a tinner's scarp which would indicate the base of the valley was streamed for tin during the medieval and post-medieval period. On the site itself there are tips derived from working and reworking alluvial deposits, as well as that derived from two adits driven into the hillside and below the lane. The cartographic evidence, supported by the results of the walkover survey, indicate at least three phases of late 19th century and 20th century industrial use of the site as a small scale streamworks. The surviving remains include parts of two small wheel pits, a stamps box, crib hut and later cement buddles. The survival and legibility of the site, combined with a relative lack of research into comparable small operations, would indicate this site has clear historical and evidential value. |
