    5/20/2011 Great Western Railway ships - Wikipedi… Great Western Railway ships From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Great Western Railway’s ships operated in Great Western Railway connection with the company's trains to provide services to (shipping services) Ireland, the Channel Islands and France.[1] Powers were granted by Act of Parliament for the Great Western Railway (GWR) to operate ships in 1871. The following year the company took over the ships operated by Ford and Jackson on the route between Wales and Ireland. Services were operated between Weymouth, the Channel Islands and France on the former Weymouth and Channel Islands Steam Packet Company routes. Smaller GWR vessels were also used as tenders at Plymouth and on ferry routes on the River Severn and River Dart. The railway also operated tugs and other craft at their docks in Wales and South West England.

  • Nobody Likes the Captain: Men of the Mines
    BRITISH MINING No.45 MEMOIRS 1992 Skillen, B.S. 1992 “Nobody Like the Captain: Men of the Mines” British Mining No.45, NMRS, pp.46-56. Published by the THE NORTHERN MINE RESEARCH SOCIETY SHEFFIELD U.K. © N.M.R.S. & The Author(s) 1992. ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.45 NOBODY LIKE THE CAPTAIN: MEN OF THE MINES Brian S. Skillen SYNOPSIS The great vigour with which 19th century metal mining was pursued generated considerable interest in the agents of this industry, the mines captains. These men became popular and sometimes not so popular subjects for the journalise of Victorian writers. Their memoirs whilst wrapped up in the most fearful adjectives, do though give some insight to the nature of these mining entrepreneurs. In the years 1857-58, George Henwood who was closely involved with the Cornish mining industry penned a series of articles on notable miners for The Mining Journal, the accompanying notes on mines’ captains and those associated to the industry have been developed from this source. Henwood would seem to have been on good terms with many of the Cornish mining gentry and it was they who provided him with much of the grist of his tales. As Henwood was writing in the mid 19th century, the memories of old men allowed an oral history contact back to the latter part of the 18th century. Men profiled included William Burgess senior, a hotel keeper about Pool and Camborne, who as a young man had had a close association to local mining: “when the place echoed with water driven stamps; when the place swarmed with half-clad buddle boys; when there were no tramroads, few ore waggons, and when pairs of mules were as common as horses.” Henwood’s short biographical sketch of Robert Mitchell of Truro was also of interest for the same reason, as at the time of Henwood’s essay Mitchell was in his 87th year.

  • 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.

    NEWSLETTER 164 SUMMER 2014 Known to the Trevithick Society as the Gawns wheel, it was re-christened the Lady Evelyn in 2006 once it had been restored to its original site at Laxey on the Isle of Man. Reg. Charity 1 No. 246586 CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS Horse and cart Elsewhere in this newsletter there are details of our Facebook social media page. A recent survey in a Society meeting at King Edward Mine revealed that only four members out of the twenty four present had any connection with Facebook. I know the understanding of its technology doesn’t come easily to those of us who are elderly folk but this has happened in every generation. I well remember the fear some people had that the television set in the corner of the room was spying on them and there were those who rejected the motor car in favour of the horse and cart. I agree that both those innovations were expensive and that may have been the real reason for avoiding them. However, Facebook is free and it’s the way we communicate with future members. In a few years most members of this Society will be able to skateboard, I wonder what technology they will be avoiding. The recent AGM Weekend in North Cornwall was a very pleasant success in spite of the weather. It was clear that those present enjoyed themselves, renewed friendships and took the opportunity to celebrate their membership of the Society, its existence and achievements. Our thanks are due to those who organised the events and prepared the illustrated notes.
