Pont Pill Quay

SX 15 SW LANTEGLOS-BY-FOWEY PONT

8/86 Pont Pill Quay

GV II

Quays and 2 projecting jetties. Possibly early C18 although partly rebuilt. Rubble stone jetties curving inwards to the north and south to enclose a small sheltered inlet on the east, to form a quay on the west and the abutments of a bridge at the narrowest point in between. Timber bridge mid-C20. Rubble slate stone laid vertically on the west side of the quay. Abutments of the bridge have been partly rebuilt. The creek is fed by Peaks Water which comes down from Trefrawle and dries out at low tide. The quay was used for loading and unloading until the early C20. 2 lime kilns are situated to the north and south. At head of creek, St Winnow, the patron of Lanteglos Church, was reputed by Worcester to have suffered martyrdom. Source: C Henderson and H Coates, Old Cornish Bridges and Streams 1928 rp 1972
