Diskudhewgh Gwithti Gwerin Hellys ‘In the mornings when I am doing my rounds, I can see this view from one of the stairways, and I am particularly fond of it. There has been a recent housing development in what was Jewson’s Yard, and it has been fascinating watching it take shape, and now I can see people sitting on their balconies or hanging out their washing. Other than this, the view is mostly unchanged in my lifetime’. Janet Spargo, manager of Helston Folk Museum Early Learning Area We chose a kitchen theme for this area, to complement our strong domestic section, and so that children could see the difference in today’s colourful kitchens with light utensils compared to the Victorian dark and heavy items. It is well-used by young children who can often be seen making mock cups of tea and meals for their visitors! We hope to expand this further this year with feely bags and art materials. A great way for young people to fi nd their way around the Museum is to have a go at the free permanent colour trail for very young children or the free Summer Trail worksheet for children aged 4-12. “Toy Department Upstairs” For more than fi fty years this sign was seen hanging in Eddy’s Toy Shop in Meneage Street. Eddy’s and Sons have been in business in Helston for over one hundred and forty-fi ve years, so has been a part of everyone’s lives. The store closed in March, and we have been lucky enough to have the sign installed in the museum. It now shows the way to our Boys’ and Girls’ Toy Shop display, and will continue to delight the eye! 8 9 DOWN THE MINE... Down y’n bal During May, it was national Museums & Galleries Month. Helston Museum held four very successful events during the month, one on each Saturday. The theme this year was “Mining” and in the photograph former miner Mark Kaczmarek, who entertained his audience with fascinating tales from his days down the mine. Helston is a former coinage town, which does not mean that it produced its own coinage, but that it held the right to assay the blocks of tin. The tin had to be brought to certain centres (in Helston that was the Coinage Hall) for the collection of taxes on the tin. If it reached the required standard, it was stamped with the duchy arms as a guarantee of its quality. There were fi ve coinage towns in Cornwall – Lostwithiel, Liskeard, Bodmin, Truro and Helston. About a hundred mines were worked in the Helston district, reaching their peak in the early 19th century. Although principally worked for tin, copper was also found in some Diskudhewgh Gwithti mines, as well as a few lead mines, some of which had a high content Gwerin Hellys of silver. Today, this is recalled in the names of Higher and Lower Silver Hill in the Godolphin Road area of Helston. Indeed, Godolphin Road is named after the Godolphin family, who were owners of the largest mine in the area, Wheal Vor, which was likened “ unto a mint” for that family as it was so successful! The mining section in Helston Museum holds many fascinating items, including an original set of miner’s candles, as well as hot marks for tin.

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.

  • Perranporth and Portreath Area Youth Hostels
    YHA (England and Wales) Youth Hostel Profile compiled by the Association’s volunteer archivist, John Martin, rev2020-01-01 Perranporth and Portreath area Youth Hostels Wheal Kitty (St Agnes) Youth Hostel 1936 to 1939 or 1940 Wheal Kitty Hostel, St Agnes, Cornwall Historic County: Cornwall YHA Region: Devon & Cornwall GR: SW 724513 approx. Note: the Grid Reference is based loosely on the rough sketchmap from the Regional Guide, shown below. The 1936 YHA handbook announced that Wheal Kitty (also called St Agnes) youth hostel was to open at Easter in that year. It consisted of substantial timber huts, possibly barrack or service huts connected with the former tin mines, closed by 1930. They could hold 40 hostellers. The warden in 1937 was Mr Weymouth-Wilson. Accommodation may have expanded to as many as 49 in that year, though evidence is conflicting. 1 2 1: Wheal Kitty youth hostel – sketch map and information from the 1937 regional guide; 2: cyclists arrive at their Cornish destination. The precise location of the huts is yet to be determined, but they were probably close to the modern business park of the same name that uses both the traditional tin mine complex and newer buildings. Another guide book placed the hostel at two minutes’ walk from Peterville (both author’s collection) 1 Charles Allan was YHA’s regional secretary in Devon and Cornwall in the 1930s. Almost 50 years later, he recalled in great detail the way this hostel was run: A hostel building situated within the boundary of the Old Wheal Kitty mine workings.
