Dist:0.9km<br/>A converted watermill on the outskirts of Helston in Sithney parish. It stands near the foot of Sithney Old Hill, the original route out of Helston towards Penzance, now bypassed by the A394. The mill was powered by a long contour leat from a weir on the Sithney stream, a tributary of the river Cober, and worked until 1937. It was a grain mill but in its last years ground bark for use in local tanneries. [Additional information from: W F Ivey, Memories of Old Helston, St John’s & Loe Pool]

Dist:0.9km<br/>Britain's starling numbers have declined markedly in recent years, even so I would not think that farmers welcome them taking up residence with cattle as they are doing here.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The daffodils are in flower but there are very few to be seen here. The flowers are cut and shipped out for sale when the buds are fully formed but still closed.

    I am trying to trace Bob Fairbairn/Fairburn and Jane Manaton about my brother, Adam Legg. If anyone knows Bob, would they ask him to telephone his sister again. Many thanks Amanda Shaw
