Dist:0.4km<br/>The landscape around Higher Downs and Lower Downs is littered with hamlet sized settlements such as this, remnants of the days when this was a mining district.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The church has a number of interesting aspects, but the religious paintings of members of the Newlyn School are as striking as those of the Bloomsburys in Berwick, East Sussex. See [[[1664577]]] and others for a comparisons.

Dist:0.5km<br/>These cottages (and the nearby church) lay at the end of a cul-de-sac road, quite out of the way of most of the settlement in the parish. This situation probably came about as a result of extensive mining in the area in the 19th century and the building of mineworkers houses away from the original village. The cottages here look like they may have been derelict or used for storage. Some have now been refurbished and sold.
