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.

Former engine houses north of St Agnes
The nearer former engine house looks to have been converted to a modern dwelling of some style. I think that I have identified this correctly as Wheal Friendly Engine House. The more distant one is, I believe, the still ruinous Turnavore Engine House.
See shared description for more information and links.

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.

Clifftop near St Agnes
Mining and quarrying has scarred the landscape here but after a time heather and gorse take up residence on the waste ground.

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.
