Background
History
A focal point of Port Navas is Port Navas Quay – a grade II listed site which has been degraded. A campaign group has been set up to protect and preserve the Quay and to reverse environmental damage in the wider Helford River area. At the head of the creek was Wheal Anna Maria, a copper, lead and silver mine with some traces of gold. The mine started in 1833 and by 1882 was described as ″deserted″ in The Cornishman newspaper.
