Colour photo of the 2.4m or almost 8ft tall prehistoric standing stone or menhir on Boswens Common above St Just in Penwith, Cornwall with the moors in the distance and the Atlantic Ocean beyond, looking towards the coast at Cape Cornwall. The sky is blue with plentiful white clouds. There's what appears to be a slight red-tinged light leak to the lower left side. This stone looks quite different from almost every angle.

Market Square, St Just, Cornwall, 1962 - Valentine's RP Postcard - Gus Honeybun

#StJust #StJustInPenwith #GusHoneybun

Monochrome real photographic postcard showing a view of the Market Square at St Just, in Penwith, Cornwall.

Published by Valentine & Sons Ltd, Dundee & London, No L 1321, photo registered in 1955.

Postally used on 2 April 1962 with double circle St Just cancellation on red 2½d stamp and sent by Jerome Taylor to the cult icon Gus Honeybun, Westward ITV, Derrys Cross, Plymouth, Devon. Whether or not Jerome got his bunny hops is not known.

Good condition, with minimal corner bumps, but light crease to bottom right corner and a somewhat eccentic cut, so it's possible that the card has been cropped slightly.

The burial chamber of Chapel Carn Brea Cairn near St Just in West Penwith, Cornwall, photographed from the south south east on 24 July 2004. #ChapelCarnBrea #Dolmens #StJust #Cornwall #StandingStoneSunday

A colour photo of the chambered tomb, originally a Scillonian-type Entrance Grave which was turned into a kerbed cairn at some point, with part of the later cairn shown behind it. A large capstone can be seen covering the entrance to a dark burial chamber. The hill, Chapel Carn Brea, is named after a 13th century chapel to St Michael of Brea. The hill has great views over much of West Penwith.

Victorian Cornwall’s leading sector: metal mining

There was no question about Cornwall’s leading economic sector in the mid-1800s. In terms of income, productivity and employment it was metal mining. The early 1860s marked the peak of Cornish mining. Deep copper mining had broken out of its eighteenth-century heartland west of Truro in the 1810s, first to mid-Cornwall in the 1810s and then further east in the 1830s and 40s, where it joined earlier smaller tin mining ventures. At the same time, the predominantly tin mining concerns of the St Agnes, Helston and St Just districts continued to employ a large number of miners.

The mining landscape of the Central Mining District – Wheal Grenville looking east along the Great Flat Lode in 1904

In 1861 30 per cent of men aged 15 to 69 were enumerated in the census of that year as working on and in mines. This includes surface workers, enginemen, mine smiths, mine clerks and others, as well as the iconic underground tributer. A map of the relative distribution of these men clearly indicates the districts most affected by mining – west Cornwall from Perranporth to St Just, mid-Cornwall around the Hensbarrow granitic outcrop and east Cornwall (where it had spilled over the Tamar into west Devon in the 1840s.)

Few of Cornwall’s 212 parishes were wholly untouched by mining; a large block in north Cornwall made up the main non-mining district while other non-mining parishes were to be found along the south coast. But of the over 29,000 miners in 1861 over a quarter (7,453) lived in just four parishes – Camborne, Illogan, Redruth and Gwennap. These four comprised the Central Mining District. They accounted for more than twice the number of miners at work in east Cornwall for example, the relative importance of the latter being exaggerated by the lower population density of the area.

The role of mining is therefore perhaps better illustrated by a map of the absolute number of miners, which more clearly portrays the mining districts of Cornwall. Here it is.

The Cargodna pumping house, West Wheal Owles mine on the clifftop near Botallack, Cornwall
The site of one of the worst mining disasters in Cornish History. On the 10th of January 1893 a large section of rock separating this mine from old flooded workings collapsed and flooded the mine in the space of 20 minutes up to the 30 fathom level (sea level). Half of the shift were drowned, 19 men and one boy.

I stop for a bus. Dickhead behind me pulls out and starts to overtake me....

If you want to see visitor driving at it's worst ride the bus between #StIves and #stjust

Those bus drivers have a lot of patience.
