As you walk through the valley today the various mysterious structures involved in the processing of the china stone can still be seen and explored. As well as the five remaining mills there were leats to chanel the water to the various water-wheels, pan kilns, mica drags, a blacksmiths shop, bridges and the disused tracks which were once tramways.
Changed the website as Cornwall Live has more photographs – 18+ photo pages with details.
China Stone was quarried and milled in Tregargus Valley from around 1870 until 1965 when the mills were abandoned. The valley includes the remains of 6 China Stone Mills which are described as the finest assemblage of Stone Mills in Western Britain.
