Full description

The tail race water from the central mine water wheel appears to combine with the main leat and then head towards New Quay, after going in a channel under the track from the mine to New Quay. However the late 19th and early 20th century Ordnance Survey maps show an additional section of tail race built from the point where it would go under the track, to perhaps feed water to the New Quay saw pit water wheel. Other details: Figures 9-10, 18: site 4.2.
