More about this scene
From the mid-19th century, Par harbour was a major port for the export of china clay. It was first developed in 1840 by Joseph Treffry, who had interests in copper mines, granite quarries, china clay works and a canal and tramway to Luxulyan. In this photograph we see two steam coasters and a sailing vessel alongside the main quay, with a steam tug at the nearest berth. Industries attracted to the harbour site included the tall flour mill, while timber has been imported at the quay on the right.
