Digital visualisation of historic Wheelpit, Luxulyan Valley

A new digital reconstruction of the historic features of the Great Wheelpit has been created with funding from Great Western Railways Community Improvement Fund.

The feat of engineering built in 1841 by Joseph Thomas Treffry is nestled beside the leat path in the Cornwall Council owned Luxulyan Valley. The new visualisation includes representations a water wheel, mill buildings and china stone chute that were once in situ, helping viewers step back in time by revealing the structures that once occupied the site the fascinating relics that remain today.
