[email protected] CAV News No 95, May 2010 Page 2 of 16 THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT – AGM, JUNE 2010 The past twelve months has been an extremely busy period for the Association as pressure intensified to find new premises and at the same time details for the various activities associated with the Cornish Festival in March had to be firmed up. Still we got there in the end! I’m sure you will agree, the new premises at Oakleigh are excellent despite the fact we are a little more pressed for storage space for the library material than at the Hughesdale location. At this point I would like to acknowledge all those who worked so hard in the actual move in January and the on-going work, under Lindsay Chapman’s leadership, associated with the library facilities. Last October brought to finality all the activities associated with the re-enactment voyage of ‘Spirit of Mystery’ from Cornwall earlier last year. A permanent record of the voyage was established, when a plaque to commemorate this fine achievement and the initial voyage of the ‘Mystery’ was unveiled at the Royal Yacht Club of Victoria in Williamstown. It has been affixed to the new external wall of the club facilities in Nelson Place. Another matter of note last year was the induction of our Treasurer Rod Phillips as a Bard of Gorseth Kernow – a most worthy recipient of this honour. As usual at each monthly meeting our members were informed and entertained by various speakers, each of whom had clearly devoted a lot of work in researching their particular subject. Attendances have been steady at around 60 to 70 with the talk from Kate Burridge attracting over 90 people. I am most grateful to the speakers for the time taken in preparation and in sharing their knowledge with our Association members. The big event for 2010 was certainly the ‘Welcome Back Cousin Jack’ Festival at Eaglehawk in March. We were very fortunate to experience fine weather for the duration of the Festival and although it represented over 12 months work in the lead up, all the effort was worthwhile as it proved to be a wonderful success. So many people were involved that is very hard to single anyone out, but I feel I must acknowledge the considerable work done by Secretary June Whiffin and the late Margaret Owens, whose tragic passing in January was a very sad event for her family, the Association, and her network of friends world wide. I should also make mention of the wonderful co- operation we had from David Richards of Eaglehawk and his team on the Dahlia and Arts Festival Committee and members of the Eaglehawk Heritage Society. Financial assistance is always welcome and recently our Association was most fortunate to receive a generous grant under the Local History Grants Program 2009-2010. This was in response to an excellent submission by Moira Drew regarding the collection of resources relating to the modes of travel and routes taken between the copper mines of South Australia and the Victorian goldfields in 1851 and 1852. Over my time as President, I have come to realise the dedication and good work performed by the branches of the Cornish Association in Geelong and Ballarat, the Bendigo and District Cornish Association and the Borderers’ Group in educating others about our Cornish heritage and making known the contribution made by our Cornish forbears. Keep up the good work! Last but not least, I would like to thank all those many members of the Cornish Association who have helped, supported and provided advice to me over my two year term as your President. In saying this, I include all those who take their turn on the various rosters, preparation June Whiffin receiving her Honorary Life Membership from President Derek and cleaning up in the hall, catering and activities associated with Trewarne afternoon tea at the conclusion of our meetings. I am also most grateful to Lindsay and Alison Chapman and their team of dedicated helpers at the Resource Centre; Past President Glen Grigg and Patron Bill Phillips for their help and advice and all those associated with the newsletter over my term of Office, in particular Lesley Morton, Monica Donaldson, Liz Egan, Viv Martin, Moira Drew and Petra Cox. Finally I owe a great debt of gratitude to our hard working Treasurer Rod Phillips and Secretary June Whiffin for her unstinting work, help and guidance – behind every successful organisation, and its President, is a good Secretary! Finally, I wish the in-coming President and his new Committee every success. Derek Trewarne President, Cornish Association of Victoria, Inc. Photo courtesy

  • The Micro-Geography of Nineteenth Century Cornish Mining?
    MINING THE DATA: WHAT CAN A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH TELL US ABOUT THE MICRO-GEOGRAPHY OF NINETEENTH CENTURY CORNISH MINING? Bernard Deacon (in Philip Payton (ed.), Cornish Studies Eighteen, University of Exeter Press, 2010, pp.15-32) For many people the relics of Cornwall’s mining heritage – the abandoned engine house, the capped shaft, the re-vegetated burrow – are symbols of Cornwall itself. They remind us of an industry that dominated eighteenth and nineteenth century Cornwall and that still clings on stubbornly to the margins of a modern suburbanised Cornwall. The remains of this once thriving industry became the raw material for the successful World Heritage Site bid of 2006. Although the prime purpose of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site team is to promote the mining landscapes of Cornwall and west Devon and the Cornish mining ‘brand’, the WHS website also recognises the importance of the industrial and cultural landscapes created by Cornish mining in its modern historical phase from 1700 to 1914.1 Ten discrete areas are inscribed as world heritage sites, stretching from the St Just mining district in the far west and spilling over the border into the Tamar Valley and Tavistock in the far east. However, despite the use of innovative geographic information system mapping techniques, visitors to the WHS website will struggle to gain a sense of the relative importance of these mining districts in the history of the industry. Despite a rich bibliography associated with the history of Cornish mining the historical geography of the industry is outlined only indirectly.2 The favoured historiographical approach has been to adopt a qualitative narrative of the relentless cycle of boom and bust in nineteenth century Cornwall.

  • Pendeen Lighthouse
    U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom Pendeen Lighthouse (Pendeen , St Just in Penwith, Cornwall) History For nearly 100 years Pendeen Lighthouse has been guiding passing vessels and warning of the dangerous waters around Pendeen Watch. From Cape Cornwall the coast runs NE by E towards the Wra, or Three Stone Oar, off Pendeen. From here the inhospitable shore continues for a further eight miles or so to the Western entrance of St. Ives Bay, the principal feature here being the Gurnards Head, on which many ships have come to grief. Until 1891 maritime safety off Pendeen depended more on activity after a wreck rather than effective prevention, the ʺAdmiralty Sailing Directionsʺ for that year being only able to report a ʺCoastguard Station where a rocket apparatus is keptʺ. The high cliffs along this sector of coastline prevented passing vessels from catching sight of either Trevose Head to the East or the Longships to the West; and so numbers of them, unable to ascertain their position, were lost, particularly on the groups of A NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL & EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom sunken and exposed rocks near Pendeen Watch. Trinity House became increasingly concerned about this state of affairs as the nineteenth century drew to its close, and decided to erect a lighthouse and fog signal at Pendeen. Designs for the building were prepared by Sir Thomas Matthews, the Trinity House Engineer, their construction being undertaken by Arthur Carkeek, of Redruth, with Messrs. Chance, of Birmingham supplying the lantern. The buildings occupy a large area and before work could begin the cap of the Point had to be removed and the whole headland flattened, which necessitated the building of a huge retaining wall on the seaward side.

    Situated just beside the North Road at the Pendeen end, Wheal Hearle comprises two engine houses which were home to a ten inch winding engine and a thirty inch pumping engine. It was in production from about 1855 and, at its peak, employed just over one hundred men , women and boys. The mine appears to have been short lived with little reported after 1865.
