Who ever built these two houses could not have realized the potential bottleneck it would cause when motor cars replaced other modes of transport. This now busy road leads into Tremar Coombe, the coombe meaning valley, and the Tre meaning homestead and mar possibly meaning mark. You then get the homestead of mark in the valley. Before the discovery of copper at Crows Nest nearby, Tremar was just a common, so before 1841 only a couple of dwellings existed on the old tithe map. Between 1841 and 1880 houses were built to support the mining industry, more modern houses later added to provide a mix of old and modern.
