Fishermen's cottages just behind the harbour
The former view onto the harbour from the front windows of this row of cottages has been completely blocked by the (frankly insensitive) modern developments on the left.

Outer Harbour, Portreath
The outer harbour was built in 1801 to export copper ore to Wales and import Welsh coal in return to power the steam engines that pumped the Cornish mines. The white house with the bay windows is the former Harbour Office which was still in use up to the 1930s.
The small stone building on the skyline by the blue forestay of the yacht is the 'Pepperpot'. This was built around 1800 to serve as a Pilot's lookout.

Outer harbour, Portreath
This is the original harbour harbut basin built inland of the 1760 pier in about 1801. It was used to ship copper ore across to Wales to be smelted and to bring in Welsh coal on the return journey to power the steam pumping engines on the local mines.
Local fishermen also used the harbour, and a thriving trade developed here fishing for pilchards.

Portreath: inner harbour
The harbour was developed by the Fox family in the late 1790s. It became one of Cornwall’s leading copper ore export ports. The associated horse-worked Portreath Tramroad was opened in 1812, connecting the mines with the port – see Martin Southwood’s shot of the incline into Portreath. Return cargoes from Swansea and elsewhere brought coal for the steam engines pumping the mines; some of these engines were constructed by the Perran Foundry at Perranarworthal, on an inlet of the Fal estuary, also owned by the Fox family. Portreath was not an easy harbour for sailing vessels – the entrance is difficult – and latterly small steamers plied from here
