Angarrack ((コーンウォール語:An Garrek)) is a village in west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated in the parish of Gwinear-Gwithian two miles east of Hayle.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 203 ''Land's End'' ISBN 978-0-319-23148-7〕 Immediately south of the village Angarrack viaduct carries the Cornish mainline railway over the Angarrack River, a tributary of the Hayle River.〔 The name comes from ''An Garrek'' which means "The Rock" in the Cornish language. According to the Ordnance Survey the spelling is Angarrack but on signs near the village, it is variously spelled Angarrack, Angharrack, or Angarrick. ==History== Angarrack is situated in a narrow valley from which the Angarrack River flows before entering the Copperhouse Pool in Hayle, through a specially constructed culvert designed to prevent flooding. However, in January 2003 the flooding was severe enough to be reported on the regional television programme ''Spotlight''.The Angarrack River and Penpol River eventually join the Hayle River at Harveys Towans before running into the sea at St Ives bay. Angarrack is shown on maps as far back as the sixteenth century. The village was formerly a centre of industry with a history of mining and quarrying. There were also four mills on the Angarrack River. One was at Trungle; one (Angarrack Mill) was at the far end of the village on the junction of Grist Lane formally known as (the fields) and Steamer's Hill; one (Grist Mill) was situated at the northern end of the village; and one (Loggans Mill) still stands beside the Angarrack River at the eastern end of Hayle. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angarrack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
