Cornwall Industrial Settlements Initiative POLGOOTH
Report No: 2004R094 Cornwall Industrial Settlements Initiative POLGOOTH (St Austell Area) 2004 CORNWALL INDUSTRIAL SETTLEMENTS INITIATIVE Conservation Area Partnership Name: Polgooth Study Area: St Austell Valley Council: Restormel Borough Council NGR: SW 99548 50464 (centre) Location: South-east Cornwall, 1 mile Existing No south-west of St Austell CA? Main period of Pre 1809; Main Tin, copper mining and elvan quarry industrial settlement 1809-41 industry: growth: Industrial history and significance Polgooth developed relatively early. Little survives from the early years of the mine in the 16th- 18th centuries when Polgooth was associated with some of the major county families and prominent engineers. This said, there is a good level of survival from the early nineteenth century in the form of workers cottages, the Inn, Count House and the intricate street patterns and leats developed in association with the mine. One of the most enduring legacies of the settlement’s industrial past, however, comes not from the mine but the quarry to the south of the settlement which provided the material for the majority of Polgooth’s buildings. Polgooth is a classic type of early industrial settlement, an uncoordinated scatter of smallholdings on the edge of common land divided between the two parishes of St Mewan and St Ewe (in fact three if the mine area outside the settlement within St Austell is included). Cottages were fitted in and amongst still-working or recently finished mines and processing sites, all set on the no-man’s land of waste, some distance from their respective churchtowns, in land shared by two or three large landowners, often in dispute over overall control of the area.
