Dist:0.4km<br/>Hewas Water is a hamlet to the west of Sticker. This shot was taken from the bus stop. The road through the hamlet thankfully has little traffic as the main A390 has been moved to a by-pass just north of the hamlet.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The engine house of this small mine perched on its hilltop, making it a local landmark that can be seen from miles around. The mine was worked in the 19th century, mainly for tin. In the later years of the 19th century it was incorporated into the Great Dowgas mine and finally closed down in about 1910. The shaft that this engine served was about 350 feet deep. There is a well known contemporary photograph of a group of miners posing in front of the engine house in the late 19th century.

Dist:1.6km northeast<br/>Sticker village grew up with the mining industry in the 19th century. When that industry declined in the latter half of the century, people were able to find work in the local china clay industry. Although the clay industry is still here, it became increasingly mechanised through the latter half of the 20th century and ceased to be a major employer.

Dist:1.7km east-northeast<br/>This is a mission church, i.e. one that was built to allow people to worship locally as the parish church, St Mewan, is at some distance from the village of Sticker. The church was opened in 1877 and has a regular and dedicated congregation. Inside, the church is plain but with a friendly feel to it. My thanks to the parish priest for allowing me a look inside and for most of the above information. I note that at the time of writing a couple of other websites which purport to show a photograph of this church have misidentified the old church hall as the church itself.
