Description
Point Quay is a quay built around the late 18th century, originally constructed for William Lemon of Cardew to supplement earlier quays built for Daniell of Trelissick. It is made of slatestone rubble with granite copings and quoins. The loading area is bordered by walls to the south and west, forming a right angle to the south, with a further walled projection creating an inner angle at the northeast corner. The walls are slightly battered and mostly consist of uncoursed, vertically-set granite coins. There are two original loading bays featuring cobbled ramps.
The quay was designed for loading mineral ore from the nearby mining areas and was later integrated into the Redruth and Chasewater Railway complex, which operated from 1824 to 1915. William Lemon, who lived from 1748 to 1824, was a prominent figure in the development of Lemon Street in Truro and was one of the main land and mineral rights owners of his time.
