Talk:Heamoor

Heamoor originally consisted of two areas - the Hea which is the southern part of the village where the main road enters the village from Penzance and then to the east of this towards St Thomas' Church. The moor occupies the area at the opposite end of the village and could be seen as the poorly drained area now occupied by the playing fields of Mount's Bay Secondary School and the housing estate nearby. The reason for the moor was the poor drainage which in turn was due to the outcrop of an Felsite dyke (also called Elvan)that can be seen forming the ridge where Poltair woods abuts onto the road leading from Heamoor to Trengwainton. This felsite chanels water onto the ground below it giving rise to the swampy conditions.


 * I think you put this in the wrong place, this is the discussion page (only for chatting about how to maintain the article - see tabs at the top)! Good that you're getting involved though, and nice to see the extra article detail here.  If you're interested in contributing regularly to Penwith articles, then some of us have set up a wikiproject here at WikiProject geography of Penwith, Cornwall to try and organise our efforts.  Penwith articles seem to be a bit neglected at wikipedia, so we set this up to try and rectify things!  Hope to see you again Mammal4 16:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

A note on pronunciation might be useful: is it Heemore or Haymore?--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 06:22, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
