Tin-ta ra

The bronze of a tin miner stands guard over a mine shaft lift wheel at Geevor. One tribute to that immensely brave body of men who were such an important part of this island's history.

From this industry came many significant things, not least of which were the first developed parliament in the UK (Stannary) and the humble Cornish pasty. Ever wondered why pasties are shaped the way they are? http://www.cornishpastyassociation.co.uk/about-the-pasty/history-draft/

Farewell to Cornwall for a while.
