    The Old Piggery, Prospidnick, Helston, Cornwall TR13 0RY Offers in excess of £380,000 The Old Piggery, Prospidnick, Helston, Cornwall TR13 0RY Offers in excess of £380,000 The Old Piggery is a delightful four bedroom, detached single storey, tastefully renovated conversion. It is located in the pretty hamlet of Prospidnick, which nestles within an idyllic rural valley backing onto the Trevarno country estate. This former piggery was purchased from Trevarno and converted in the early 1990s. The property is deceptive from the front and offers spacious and well-proportioned accommodation yet with a light and airy feel unlike many older Cornish properties. The Old Piggery blends contemporary and traditional styling with many features, including exposed timber beamed ceilings within the lounge, a feature wood burner and handmade timber paneled walls. There is a timber parquet floor and character doors with double glazing set within character timber windows. The property has LPG heating, a family bathroom and an en-suite to the master bedroom. To the front of the property there is a cobbled driveway providing parking for several cars and either side of the property, there are patios and a path that leads to the rear, where the majority of the gardens can be found. The generous private, enclosed garden is a true delight with a wide selection of mature shrubs and trees and backs on to open fields. The hamlet of Prospidnick comprises a handful of individual and character residences. The hamlet is popular due to its proximity to the market town of Helston, the many restaurants in Porthleven and shopping in Penzance.

The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a. EC Dangerous Substances Directive b. EC Freshwater Fish Water Quality Directive c. DOE Harmonised Monitoring Scheme d. DOE Red List Reduction Programme c.

  • Cornish Mineral Reference Manual
    Cornish Mineral Reference Manual Peter Golley and Richard Williams April 1995 First published 1995 by Endsleigh Publications in association with Cornish Hillside Publications © Endsleigh Publications 1995 ISBN 0 9519419 9 2 Endsleigh Publications Endsleigh House 50 Daniell Road Truro, Cornwall TR1 2DA England Printed in Great Britain by Short Run Press Ltd, Exeter. Introduction Cornwall's mining history stretches back 2,000 years; its mineralogy dates from comparatively recent times. In his Alphabetum Minerale (Truro, 1682) Becher wrote that he knew of no place on earth that surpassed Cornwall in the number and variety of its minerals. Hogg's 'Manual of Mineralogy' (Truro 1825) is subtitled 'in wich [sic] is shown how much Cornwall contributes to the illustration of the science', although the manual is not exclusively based on Cornish minerals. It was Garby (TRGSC, 1848) who was the first to offer a systematic list of Cornish species, with locations in his 'Catalogue of Minerals'. Garby was followed twenty-three years later by Collins' A Handbook to the Mineralogy of Cornwall and Devon' (1871; 1892 with addenda, the latter being reprinted by Bradford Barton of Truro in 1969). Collins followed this with a supplement in 1911. (JRIC Vol. xvii, pt.2.). Finally the torch was taken up by Robson in 1944 in the form of his 'Cornish Mineral Index' (TRGSC Vol. xvii), his amendments and additions were published in the same Transactions in 1952. All these sources are well known, but the next to appear is regrettably much less so. it would never the less be only just to mention Purser's 'Minerals and locations in S.W.
