The Tremar Stream
A tributary of the River Seaton, this stream was used for tin streaming long before the discovery of copper which turned this rural common area into a small settlement to support the mineworkers and their families. Indeed, before this industrial expansion, around 1840, the village of Tremar Coombe simply did not exist. The only properties in the area shown on the Tithe map pre 1841, and located at Trecarne, some 250 yards north, are believed to be the homes of the Tremar Tin Streamers. The Tremar stream continues to flow gently down the valley, oblivious of the changes this area has experienced, is experiencing and will undoubtedly experience!

Unadopted road leading to Milk Lane
Unadopted road leading to properties adjacent to the track known locally as Milk Lane. The name Milk Lane is believed to derive from the use of it by the Milkman, possibly collecting milk from the former farm that before its demolition stood on the site now known as Venlands Manor. The farm was owned by the Hoskin family.

Happy Honey Bee
Not a geograph, not technically brilliant but one of my most favourite photographs. Just pointed the camera and pressed the button and this happy little lady was preserved for ever. Well, until the lights all go out that is!

Narrow lane into Tremar Coombe
Who ever built these two houses could not have realized the potential bottleneck it would cause when motor cars replaced other modes of transport. This now busy road leads into Tremar Coombe, the coombe meaning valley, and the Tre meaning homestead and mar possibly meaning mark. You then get the homestead of mark in the valley. Before the discovery of copper at Crows Nest nearby, Tremar was just a common, so before 1841 only a couple of dwellings existed on the old tithe map. Between 1841 and 1880 houses were built to support the mining industry, more modern houses later added to provide a mix of old and modern.
