Very intriguing! lf

Richard Brookes replied:

Thank you Elizabeth, it is. The whole Valley is full of overgrown remnants of a bygone age using only water or steam powered engineering. A fascinating place!

Love the image and thank you for including the history! l/f

Richard Brookes replied:

Thank you Jane, that's really appreciated! I like to research places before and after I visit so that I have a better understanding of what I'm looking at and photographing. Also it helps you understand the surrounding landscape and often it leads to other interesting things nearby that otherwise would have been missed.

Now that's cool. Quite an amazing contraption! L/F

Richard Brookes replied:

Thank you Jane, yes it is. The Victorians certainly built things to last. Those are pretty big chunks of metal which they had to haul up a fairly remote steep sided valley.

Artist's Description

The poignant remains of an abandoned Victorian overshot waterwheel in Luxulyan Valley, Cornwall, SW England, UK. The wheelpit, axle, gears, mounting and anchor bolts, wheel hubs with sockets for the wheel spokes and the edge of a grinding pit for milling can be seen. The waterwheel was built in 1841 and ran from 1842 when Carmears leat above it was completed. The original wheel was 30ft in diameter and hauled wagons up an inclined plane tramway until the 1870s. The wagons transported granite and china clay (used in the production of porcelain) from quarries around the top of the valley whilst the return journeys hauled lime and coal landed at nearby Par docks.

The development of the area in the C19th was largely down to the boom in copper mining and the endeavours of the industrialst and engineer Joseph Treffry (1782–1850).

About Richard Brookes

Richard Brookes

Images exploring Devon & Cornwall's remote inspiring landscapes, breathtaking coast, ruins and shipwrecks in this beautiful part of SW England, UK. The stunning natural beauty of the area, which changes with the light, seasons and coastal climate, is constantly inspiring. There is so much history here too with human occupation spanning millennia. A photographer's dream. My photos are mostly taken spontaneously in less visited places or from unusual viewpoints. If they hold your attention, lift your spirit, make you ask questions, make you smile or fire your imagination and your wish to explore then it is more than enough reward....although you can buy prints too! ;)My photos mostly explore beautiful rural North Devon & Cornwall...
