Situated on the northern shore of St. Austell Bay, in the middle years of the 18th century it was known as West Porthmear.
At this time it is reported as being no more than a few cottages and with a population of some nine inhabitants. In those times vessels would run ashore on the beach and load from here. It was a tricky operation and it seemed some four vessels a year would come to grief in attempting to run up on the beach. Then, in 1791, Charles Rashleigh began the construction of a harbour. This brought about a marked improvement in the fortunes of West Porthmear and by 1795 ships of 500 tons were entering the harbour.
China clay has long been exported from Charlestown. This scene which has disappeared for ever shows air-dried blocks of clay, brought from the 'dries' by horse and wagon are loaded on board ships at Charlestown by men using the distinctive, long-handled Cornish shovel (note the portable chute suspended by chains). Although this picture dates from the early years of the 19th century, the man on the side of the wagon nearest the chute has been identified by his grandson as Tom Lightfoot.
