Polberro Mine, Turnavore Shaft - St Agnes
This engine house had been converted to a miner's dry and as a consequence looks a little unusual with a more modern roof, walled in bob opening and gothic windows. It was built in 1885 for a 60" pumping engine built in 1863 by Harvey & Co. In 1902 it was moved to the nearby Wheal Friendly. Polberro was a tin mine and finally closed after an attempt at reworking in 1941. The engine house had been modified for this reworking in 1937 and is now on private land. The photographer's position is approximate.

St Agnes Sports Club
Both football and rugby are played here but with a marquee on the pitch it looks like there is going to be a 'bit of a do' today instead.

Old Mining Country
The land to the north west of St Agnes is riddled with old mines and mining waste. A few fields, probably for horse grazing, and gardens have been reclaimed from the gorse scrub covering the area. The scattered houses are probably now extremely expensive to buy.

Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica)
This invasive weed was introduced to this country in Victorian times by plant collectors, who found it an attractive plant. However, it migrated from private gardens to the wild and it is nowadays a serious problem, particularly in Cornwall. It is very difficult to eliminate because of its ability to regenerate from small relics of tissue. http://projects.exeter.ac.uk/knotweed/. It is quite widespread on this particular area of old mining waste.
