Seen from the jetty at the Pandora Inn, Restronguet Passage, looking downstream. Higher upstream the Creek is known as the Carnon River and was once navigable to Bissoe Bridge, four miles from here. But 19th century mine workings silted the river at the rate of a foot every five years. Ores were shipped from Devoran, upstream, in the period 1840-1870 [Information from Liz Luck, South Cornish Harbours, Nautical Books, 1988]
