Luxulyan Valley. The end of the leat from Luxulyan, brought across the valley via the Treffry viaduct. The original waterwheel here powered an incline on Treffry’s railway to Pontsmill. A new valley railway made this system redundant in 1874 and a replacement 40’ waterwheel was installed to drive a china stone mill, operated until 1914.
