Par Port (United Kingdom)

For a short period in the 1840s the owner of Fowey Consuls, Joseph Austen, alias Treffry, was the biggest mine owner and the largest employer of labour in Cornwall. He built railways and canals as well as leats for his water engines, and constructed Par harbour to bring in mine supplies and take away his copper ore
