The Pentewan Railway. The harbour terminus pictured at the turn of the 20th century. Note on the extreme right the china clay loading chutes which were lowered into the holds of the waiting ships. horse-drawn wagon fro the 'dries' north and west of the port were driven to unload clay directly into the ships to augment the loads coming in by rail. The extent of the port at that time can be seen from several sizeable ships then accommodated.
