City/town information
The bungalow was built in 1989 using stone from the original building. Chapel belle is built on the site of the former Sunday school so welcomes well behaved children.
I love to share my pride in my native country because to us Cornish it is “Gods Own Country”.
This area was rich in mineral mining (tin copper lead silver zinc lithium) it would be worth a visit to Heartland’s world heritage site to learn more and the Red River café is good and it has got a great free playpark.
Founded in 1888, Camborne School of Mines (CSM) now at Falmouth Campus is part of Exeter University it hosts a unique combination of scientific and engineering expertise in geology, mining and minerals sending people all over the world. Richard Trevithick was born in Tregajorran.
