Issue He Wrote Realistically About the Lovely Old Dog So We Also Tuesday to Friday 12.00 - 2.00, 6.00 - 9.00 Wish Him Well PRESS RELEASE A sea of Santas will be sure to cause a storm in two Cornish towns this December as Cornwall Hospice Care launch their first ever Santa Fun Runs in Padstow on Saturday 4 th December and Falmouth on Saturday 11 th December. The charity is calling out to those Cornish folk up for some festive fun to get involved – men and women, boys and girls, young and old – everyone is welcome to join the Christmas fundraiser. 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. There will be festive music at the start, mince pies and a warm drink to greet the runners when they finish. Every entrant will receive a free Santa suit, with Santa hats for children, so there really will be a sea of Santas by the seaside - a sure way to get into the Christmas spirit and to help raise some vital funds for the charity which provides adult hospice care across Cornwall. Radio Cornwall is supporting the charity runs not only by entering teams of runners but also with two of their well loved presenters setting the jolly Santas on their way – James Churchfield at the Padstow event and Laurence Reed in Falmouth. Anyone interested in joining one of the Cornwall Hospice Care Santa Fun Runs as a runner or as a volunteer is asked to get in touch with Karen on 01726 66869 or email [email protected] 1 2 Editorial KINGSWOOD RESTAURANT LONDON APPRENTICE Another magazine and another editorial to be written. 01726 63780 A new landlord and landlady in our pub and Hawkes Shop missing its EAT, DRINK & ENJOY mistress.

  • 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.

  • 1 All Profits for Polgooth Times
    All profits for Polgooth Times www.polgoothtimes.co.uk 1 Polgooth Polgooth (Cornish: Pollgoedh, meaning "Goose Pond") is a former mining village, It lies mainly in the parish of St Mewan and partly in the parish of St Ewe. Antiquarians once claimed that the mines of Polgooth had supplied Phoenician traders with tin 3000 years ago, but in fact the earliest historical record is a list compiled in 1593, in which several well-established Polgooth workings were named. At that time and subsequently, the mines were owned by the Edgcumbe family By the eighteenth century, Polgooth was celebrated as the "greatest tin mine in the world" and the richest mine in the United Kingdom. To pump water from the workings an early 50-inch Newcomen steam engine was erected in 1727 by Joseph Hornblower, superseded in 1784 by a 58-inch Boulton & Watt steam engine and in 1823 (when John Taylor was manager) by an 80-inch William Sims engine. In 1822, Polgooth was the birthplace of geologist John Arthur Phillips In the late eighteenth century shareholders or 'adventurers' in the mines included the engineers James Watt (who may have lived in Polgooth for a time) and Matthew Boulton, the industrialist John Wilkinson, local entrepreneur Charles Rashleigh (who built the port of Charlestown, from which much of the tin was shipped), landowner Lord Henry Arundell, and the potters Josiah and John Wedgwood. By 1800, over 1000 people were employed at Polgooth though, judging by a contemporary visitor, not in the most cheerful of conditions: 2 "The shafts are scattered over a considerable extent of sterile ground, whose dreary appearance, and the sallow countenances of the miners, concur to excite ideas of gloom, apprehension, and melancholy.
