Issue – No 108 Is 10 Th July 2009 reassured by our workforce who have been reliable, completely trustworthy (we even POLGOOTH TIMES went away for 5 days and left them working in the house) and friendly they even Spring 2009 107 brought their own drinks with them although gratefully accepted anything extra that came their way. Hopefully by the time you read this we will be painted and papered internally and all spruced up for the start of Summer, but, of course, the garden is now demanding some attention so there will be little time for relaxation until that is given some tender loving care. Hopefully we will have a warm and sunny Summer which will make us forget the previous two!!!! The next date for articles to be included in the 108 th edition of the magazine is the 10 th July 2009. Please remember we will not publish anything submitted anonymously. The Editor The date for articles to be included in the next issue – No 108 is 10 th July 2009 Editorial CREAM TEAS IN THEGARDEN!!! At No 10 Trelowth Road, Thursday 18 June at 2pm By the time you read this Frank and Hayley Snell will no longer be running the Raffle & Tombola printers in the village and the magazine will now be printed by Pegasus Printers in St. Cake & Craft stalls Blazey. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking them both for the time and Everybody Welcome effort they put into getting our magazine onto disc and dragging us kicking and screaming into the 21 st . century and the advice and support given by Frank in the early stages of the change over. The printers was a wonderful resource for the village Barbara and will be missed by many, especially myself, as they were so accessible and helpful regarding the printing of our magazine. May we wish Frank and Hayley well for the future. After, what seemed like a very long Winter, Spring seems to have sprung and the picture on the front cover of the magazine reminds us just how early Spring does arrive in Cornwall with the daffodils covered in snow. What a lovely few days that was with most of the village walking instead of driving around the village and everyone chatting to everyone else,it is a shame it takes a few inches of snow to see village life at its best. The Scott household is almost at the end of several weeks of building work. Having In aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care heard plenty of horror stories about builders, electricians and plumbers we commenced, what for us was a first, with trepidation but have been pleasantly 1 2 Obituary Polgooth Methodist Church Jean Woodward (formerly Blackler) Many of you, I’m sure are enjoying springtime in Cornwall. Can anywhere be more beautiful? It seems as if the whole county is covered in flowers. I find it particularly refreshing after such a long, cold winter. Now we have the signs It is with great sadness we report the death of Jean of new life all around us. In our churches too, at the moment, we are Woodward, aged 74 who died on 01/05/09 at Mount celebrating new life. I’m writing this during Holy Week and at the end of this week we will be remembering the death and resurrection of our lord Edgcumbe Hospice after a sudden and quick illness. JesusChrist. Jesus brought new meaning to the words ‘new life’ by rising from the dead and thus declaring to the world that death need not be the end. Jean previously living at Tregarith,Trelowth Road, was the It was Jesus himself who said “ I am the resurrection and the life. He who wife of our previous editor-Marcus Woodward. believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” This really is something to celebrate. The work and witness of the church continues with our regular Sunday Services, House Group, monthly reflective times, coffee mornings and children’s meetings on Thursday and Friday evenings. If you would like to attend any of these events you would be assured of a warm welcome. Mothering Sunday is always a special time in the church and this year was no exception. Those who attended participated in All Age Worship which included puppets and as usual all the ladies were given a Carnation buttonhole. We would love to see more families joining us for our monthly All Age Worship. Why not come? You may even enjoy it! Dates can be found in the Village Diary. We have again been looking at ways in which we can serve the village and have decided as last year to hold a Village Fete and children’s sports. This will be on Saturday 11th July and will form part of our Church Anniversary weekend. Our morning worship on Sunday 12th July will be led by the chairman of the Cornwall Methodist District, Rev. Steve Wild. Steve is, himself a puppet enthusiast and so once more we can be assured of puppets participating in our worship. We have decided to experiment with our Celebration of Village Life this year and to hold the event in the Playing Field on Sunday 21 June at 10.30am. We will be contacting village organisations before the event and hope that as many as possible will be able to participate. I’m sure that we will be organising other events over the forthcoming months so please keep your eyes peeled for posters around the village.

It was very scary so I thought I would take two deep breaths and go for it! We had to do the pantomime 5 times my Mummy was in it as a dog. My daddy and my sister couldn't do it but my daddy came to watch it although my sister couldn’t so my Aunty had to babysit. In the pantomime we did the first song which was called “On a wonderful day like to day.” I saw my Granny on the first night. The songs that I did were “on a wonderful day like today”, “Spring, spring, spring”, “Old McDonald had a farm”, “happy Days” and finally the finale. Also I acted out a teddy bear, puppet on a string sheep and the chorus. I thought it went very well indeed and my mum was great. The end by Lowenna Cleary Aged 8 years old.

We have had a busy term leading up to Easter, as we have had to prepare the notice board for Mother’s Day. The children sang to their mums in the Sunday Service and also gave them a buttonhole.

  • Cornwall Industrial Settlements Initiative POLGOOTH
    Report No: 2004R094 Cornwall Industrial Settlements Initiative POLGOOTH (St Austell Area) 2004 CORNWALL INDUSTRIAL SETTLEMENTS INITIATIVE Conservation Area Partnership Name: Polgooth Study Area: St Austell Valley Council: Restormel Borough Council NGR: SW 99548 50464 (centre) Location: South-east Cornwall, 1 mile Existing No south-west of St Austell CA? Main period of Pre 1809; Main Tin, copper mining and elvan quarry industrial settlement 1809-41 industry: growth: Industrial history and significance Polgooth developed relatively early. Little survives from the early years of the mine in the 16th- 18th centuries when Polgooth was associated with some of the major county families and prominent engineers. This said, there is a good level of survival from the early nineteenth century in the form of workers cottages, the Inn, Count House and the intricate street patterns and leats developed in association with the mine. One of the most enduring legacies of the settlement’s industrial past, however, comes not from the mine but the quarry to the south of the settlement which provided the material for the majority of Polgooth’s buildings. Polgooth is a classic type of early industrial settlement, an uncoordinated scatter of smallholdings on the edge of common land divided between the two parishes of St Mewan and St Ewe (in fact three if the mine area outside the settlement within St Austell is included). Cottages were fitted in and amongst still-working or recently finished mines and processing sites, all set on the no-man’s land of waste, some distance from their respective churchtowns, in land shared by two or three large landowners, often in dispute over overall control of the area.

Entrants can choose to run, jog or walk around the route with a choice of two distances at both locations. “Everyone is really excited about the Santa Runs, it is going to be a fabulously festive event with lots of fun and merriment – I’m sure the sight of hundreds of Santas running through the streets is going to cause quite a stir!" said Karen Holman, Events Team Leader for Cornwall Hospice Care.
