There is the ruin of an on engine house we passed once and it's called The Duke of Cornwall. <br />Our own little cemetery has the graves or Cornish miners. Definitely interesting history.<br />EllyElly and Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859027125314402207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849606427437002017.post-69040125884698463922014-05-18T17:41:00.304+10:002014-05-18T17:41:00.304+10:00Enjoy Cornwall, the county of my ancestors.

They came north to Manchester to mine coal when the copper and tin mining industries collapsed in the late 19th century. Many others went worldwide in search of hard rock mining, including Ballarat, where there is a graveyard with lots of Cornish miners from that time, some of which are my relatives. Mitchell Construction in Melbourne are also direct relatives from mining in Cornwall. The Dolphin pub on the sea front of Penzance on the road out to Mousehole near the fishing port was once owned by by grandmother's cousin, also an ex-Cornish miner.Peter Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941073132300695291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8849606427437002017.post-76089844668484770962014-05-18T16:36:25.969+10:002014-05-18T16:36:25.969+10:00Angie, I better start thinking what to wish for.
