covered an area of over and had a lease of 99 years (commencing 24 August 1874) from Colonel Tremayne. The property contained a number of workshops, including a smithy, a hammermill, and a quay at Restronguet with access for 200-ton vessels. The machinery, plant and stock were auctioned on 30 September and 1 October 1880. Large stocks of boiler plates and machinery at the Boiler Yard, Ponsanooth were auctioned, and at the Pattern Shop, Foundry Yard, 10 tons of copper, brass, lead, tin, pewter and other metals, 6 tons of steel, several thousand fire bricks, 50 tons coal and coke, timber and numerous other lots. A chemical manure works known as Basset Foundry was sold to Mr T Rickard of Penryn for £101 in January 1883. The buildings – including Manor Mill on the opposite side of the road – were later adapted by the Edwards Brothers for the milling and storage of grains and animal foods, and also cloth dyeing; another waterwheel was added. The site was used for various purposes until it closed in 1986. In 2005, the owners, North Hill Estates Ltd, applied for planning permission to redevelop the site with a mix of live/work units and residential accommodation. The first homes, converted from the hammer mill and other industrial buildings, were completed in 2013.

The timber would be seasoned by being 'pickled' for several months in shallow tidal ponds. The Norway Inn was built in 1828/1829 at the same time that the main Falmouth to Truro road was rerouted to cross the Carnon River on an embankment just above the village of Devoran. Perran's Well, built in 1839, provided fresh spring water from the local Bissoe aquifer. The well was frequented by merchants as they took their goods from Penryn harbour to the trade capital of Cornwall, Truro. Tullimaar House, an early 19th-century mansion, is in the parish. It was the home of Nobel Prize-winning novelist Sir William Golding (1911–1993). Religious buildings The 15th-century Anglican parish church dedicated to Saint Piran was rebuilt to the design of James Piers St Aubyn between May 1881 and 1882, at a cost of £1,200.
