Trematon Pound – before work started LOTTERY
POUNDS FOR THE POUND Work
is now complete on the regeneration and restoration of Trematon
Pound near Saltash, for Saltash Old Cornwall Society. The work was carried out over the autumn and winter
months of 2004, with the aid of a
grant of £6,776 under the Local Heritage Initiative. The
origins of Trematon Pound are obscure, but along with mythical oyster
beds in the river Tamar, the pound has been owned by Saltash Town
Council for centuries. It was originally used for impounding animals,
either because they had strayed, or because their owners were
indebted. In living memory, the local village postman had a small hut
within the enclosure, where he used to sort the post. The
Pound was in a sad state of neglect, with broken walls and gate,
choked with rank undergrowth. With the aid of many volunteers, under
the supervision of stonemason Anthony Elliot and main contractors Brad
and Greg Hine, the Pound now looks truly magnificent. Existing stone
and mortar (using cow dung water !) was used in the rerenovation, the
original gate was reconstructed and re-welded, and even the original
bolt fittings were found in the subsoil and refitted. Trematon
Pound will be the focus for a country walk along adjacent public
footpaths, signposted on an information board, which will also tell of
the history of this ancient medieval structure. The
interior has been grassed, and Saltash Town Council have provided an
amenity seat for the public to enjoy this peaceful country setting.
