Mill Quay
The quay at Mylor is thought to date from the 18th Century, initially built of slate and then rebuilt in granite. Just upstream at the head of the creek was a tidal mill. In the late 1760s, work began on a new a double-wheeled watermill behind the quay to replace the tidal mill. Water was supplied by a leat to power the waterwheels and the water exited from tail races through two arched openings in the front of the quay. The mill was in use until the early 20th Century.
