Description
An account of a small Cornish granite port and its communities, in the parish of Constantine An essential reference for those with a general interest in matters Cornish, a particular interest in 19th century industrial development, and, of course direct and indirect connections with the area. It should have a place on the bookshelves of any such home! This fully revised 2nd edition, 22 years after its predecessor, is launched to mark the author’s 100th birthday. The new book contains twice the text and triple the illustrations of the first edition. There are four extra chapters and two new appendices, with references and an index. It has been a community effort, with a number of key contributors. It covers geology, prehistory, medieval land holdings, and the local industries of granite, mining and oyster farming. Included are the evolution of the community from the early 19th to the 21st century, and its contributions in both world wars Product details: Language: English, 140 pages, Publisher: Hemingfold Press, 1st April 2016 ISBN: 978-0-9935654-0-3
