Stream at Lower Bostraze

Two streams join in the Tregeseal Valley, below this point. They then flow through Nancherrow and out to the sea at Porth Ledden, through the Kenidjack valley Image In the 19th century the water from these streams powered the machinery for the mining lower down the valley. Plenty of water today, after several weeks of rain saturating the peaty commonland above. This photograph was taken just to the west of the old China Clay works at Lower Bostraze.
