Description: Journey into the heart of one of Cornwall's most storied mining towns, where granite bedrock and human ingenuity have shaped a community like no other. From the pioneering steam engines of Richard Trevithick to the towering engine houses of Dolcoath and South Crofty, this richly detailed exploration traces Camborne's rise through the industrial age and its enduring character today. Along the way, readers discover the chapels, streets, and surrounding landscapes—from Carn Brea to the rugged coast—that give the town its unmistakable spirit. A must-read for anyone drawn to Cornwall's heritage and the people who forged it.
