Roadside Hedges and Verges in Cornwall
ROADSIDE HEDGES AND VERGES IN CORNWALL Copyright Robin Menneer 2008 History of roadside hedges / old roads & enclosures / pack-horse & slide / turnpike hedges / verges - the “long meadow” / walking on top of hedges / hedge & highway responsibilities / hedges alongside private roads and ramps / hedge trimming & road repairs / modern road traffic and hedges / traffic pollution / current roadside hedge management. There are over four and a half thousand miles of roads in Cornwall, so there are roughly 9,000 miles of hedges alongside them. Highways and hedges are inextricably wedded, physically and historically. As the land was enclosed, hedges were built beside the existing tracks, and as new lanes and roads evolved, new hedges were built alongside them. Again, as the traffic using them changed, many of the roads and their hedges were altered to meet the new demand. Roadside hedges make up roughly one third of the total of hedges in the county. Of these, nearly 1,000 miles of hedge are along main roads, nearly 4,000 miles along second class and minor roads, many of them narrow lanes, and over 4,000 miles along unclassified ways. This abundance in Cornwall of ancient roads, lanes and tracks contradicts old exaggerations about the self-sufficiency and isolation of hamlets within a country parish. Typically Pelynt parish, with a circumference of twelve miles, has some forty miles of road, lane and footpath. Its number of farms and tenements, only a handful today, numbered 31 in 1957 and over 100 in 1812. Transporting goods and animals was time-consuming, and it was an advantage for a parish to have an intricate system of highways so that distances to be travelled were as short as possible.

After mine closure in 1991, underground pumping ceased, allowing groundwater levels to recover, releasing acidic metal laden minewater into the Camon River. The result was a highly visible and widely reported pollution incident extending into the Fal Estuary. In 1992 the NRA set up a project with the following objectives: - • Amelioration of the effects of the metal rich minewater from Wheal Jane on the Camon River and Fal Estuary. • Development of water quality objectives for the Camon River. • Research into the most appropriate and cost effective long term treatment strategies for achieving various water quality objectives. This report provides the basis for the NRA’s recommendations, to the DoE, on the long-term options for treating the Wheal Jane minewater.

ANNEX 5 – Chronology of Major Flood Events in Cornwall
Cornwall Council Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment ANNEX 5 – Chronology of Major Flood Events in Cornwall June 2011 1800 – 1899 A storm caused coastal flooding affecting a number of communities along the south coast on 19-20 January 1817. Polperro harbour was destroyed by this storm and Looe was badly damaged. Truro suffered from numerous flooding events during the 1800s (1811, 1815, 1818, 1838, 1841, 1844, 1846, 1848 (twice), 1869, 1875, 1880, 1882 (twice), 1885, 1894 and 1899). These were usually associated with high river flows coinciding with high tides. Known as the Great Flood of 16 July 1847, due to an intense rainstorm event on Davidstow Moor water collected in the valley and forced a passage of water down the Camel and Inney. Bodmin - Dunmere Valley and the whole area below Dunmere Hill was flooded by the River Camel. Dunmere Bridge was washed away as was the new 40 feet (12 m) high railway bridge. At St. Breward, bridges from Gam Bridge to Dunmere were washed away by a wall of water 12 to 18 feet (3.5-5.5 m) above normal along the River Camel. The devastating floods that swept down from Davidstow Moor washed away all but two of the bridges along the River Camel - Wadebridge and Helland being the only survivors. Serious flooding occurred in Par and St Blazey in November 1852. November 1875 saw heavy rain resulting in serious flooding in Bude, Camelford, Polmorla, Hayle, St Just, Penzance and Truro. Extreme rainfall in October 1880 resulted in serious flooding in both Bodmin and Truro. High tides at the end of September and early October 1882 resulted in flooding in Boscastle, Truro, Wadebridge and Padstow.
