Sand extraction from Goss Moor started in the 1920s for a small block making works. The demand for concrete blocks increased in 1939 as a result of military construction projects at RAF St Mawgan, St Eval,St Trebelzue and Perranporth. A rough estimate is that over one million yards of sand and gravel was excavated from Goss Moor over a five year period. The only evidence of the industry now are the sand extraction and storage silos near the cache and the large pools of water at the pit sites. The buildings were last used in the 1940s.
Well done Janpe FTF
