When I was about 14 the A30 by-pass finished at Treswithian and my sister and I used to walk our dog beside the huge pile of earth where the by-pass ended, I also remember a little later, walking him on the then unfinished continuation of the road to Hayle.

Extracts From Treswithian & Cornwall books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Treswithian, inspired by Frith photos.
The stream is actually the River Cober, which used to regularly flood this area of Lower Green. When this happened, bands of men were despatched to Loe Bar to dig a channel to drain off the floodwater, and the Corporation, in accordance with custom, presented the Lord of the Manor with a leather purse containing three halfpennies. Today a permanent culvert prevents flooding.

We are looking north-east up the valley to the town. St Michael's is on the skyline, and round the bend in the valley to the left is the site of St John's Priory Hospital, which cared for travellers and lepers from 1220 to 1580.
