Exploiting Cornwall’s mining heritage Bart Zwegers Maastricht University, Netherlands Abstract: This research paper discusses the rise of the heritage and tourist industry in Cornwall. It aims to historically contextualize this process by analyzing it in relation to the neo-liberal political landscape of the 1980s. The paper highlights several consequences of industrial heritage tourism in the region, including the growing gap between rich and poor that resulted from the arrival of newcomers from the richer Eastern counties and the perceived downplaying of Cornish heritage. It will explain how these developments paved the way for regionalist activists who strived for more Cornish autonomy in the field of heritage preservation and exploitation.

    Hayle Academy Cashless Catering & School Gateway System Option 1 (Recommended) Register with SchoolComms: visit their website at www.schoolgateway.com and click on ‘New User’. You will be asked for your email address and mobile phone numbers, these must be the same as the ones you have provided the school - if you are unsure which details you provided this information can be found at the foot of this letter. The company will text you a PIN which can be used to set up an account, after which you can add funds to your child’s account by clicking on the Lunch Money icon. If you have a smartphone, you can download the App - search for ‘School Gateway’. We would encourage you to use the App as it provides additional features, as well as allowing the school to contact you free of charge. Option 2 Your child can still bring in cash or a cheque to school (cheques need to be made payable to Caterlink not Hayle Academy). Cheques or cash can then be taken to the canteen or student reception before school, or to the student reception at break time, where a member of staff will credit your child’s account with the payment received.

  • Wendron Audio Trail Delve Deeper
    Delve Deeper Wendron Wendron: Ghosts of mining amidst Mining peaceful pastures District If you wish to delve deeper into the history of Wendron’s links with Cornish Mining then this short guide will provide you with more information. As you explore Wendron’s quiet farmland or walk along its tinkling streams, it’s easy to feel like you’ve stepped back in time. But if you did step back 150 years or so, you would find yourself in a very different landscape – a noisy, dirty, smoky industrial area. The parish of Wendron is one of the oldest mining districts in Cornwall and the Cober Valley was one of the most important tin streaming areas. Tin streaming has been important in the area since medieval times. Then, from the late 1700s, Wendron became part of the Cornish mining boom – the parish had very rich deposits of tin. For this reason, Wendron is one of the ten areas of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site. More than 800 people were employed in the parish in 1870. Yet by 1880, Wendron’s mining industry, like that of other Cornish districts, had utterly collapsed due to foreign competition. TIN STREAMING – WENDRON’S EARLIEST INDUSTRY Why was tin in streams? Cornwall’s granite contains near vertical veins (lodes) of minerals such as tin, copper and tungsten. In the Wendron district, the tin lodes were narrow and close to the surface, allowing early miners to dig it out. Erosion of the rocks carried deposits of tin ore downstream to the valley bottoms. There it was buried in sands and gravel.

  • RETALLACK SURNAME March 9 2000 by Greg Retallack
    RETALLACK SURNAME March 9 2000 by Greg Retallack, Department of Geological Sciences, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1272:gregr@ darkwing.uoregon.edu;http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~dogsci Abstract Retallack is a name endemic to Cornwall, and traceable in that southwestern English county back to 1497. The name is probably derived from Talek, recorded back to 1349, by addition of a demonstrative pronoun (those Taleks!). Talek in turn is most likely from the old Cornish talawg meaning high forehead. The comparable Welsh name Tallwch and Pictish Talorc can be traced back to the 6th century. There are numerous other ideas concerning the origin of the Retallack surname from Cornish place names, Cornish saints, mine workings and Norse and Greek gods, and these are all reviewed here. Retallacks in Cornwall were largely miners and farmers. Many left Cornwall for the United States and Australia in the 1850's. I emigrated to the U.S.A. in 1977, but my great great grandfather emigrated in 1852 to Australia, where I was born and raised. Introduction The Retallack name is unusual and often requires careful spelling out. Pronunciation is also a challenge (correct is r'-TAL-lack, rhymes with metallic). With the advent of the internet and computer-generated genealogical research I have been getting frequent requests for information on the surname and its ancestry. Here is as much as I can reconstruct. Retallack is endemic to Cornwall, England, where it has been a rare name back to the 15th century (Table 1). Since the 19th century it has been part of a global emigration (Table 2) so that there are now more Retallacks in Australia and the U.S.
