Restronguet Point
Restronguet Point still has the remains of two quays. The quay facing into Restronguet Creek known as Marble Head Quay was used to ship copper ore, brought from the Redruth area to Devoran on the railway and then moved along the creek using horses. Copper was shipped to the coalfields of South Wales to be smelted as 16 tonnes of coal were needed for every tonne of ore. A second quay, on the tip of the point, was used for a ferry service across the creek to both Weir Beach and the Pandora Inn. A ship's bell was used to summon the ferry from the other side of the creek.
