ST. AUSTELL PARISH |
|---|
Many of these articles have been written by people who love Cornwall, and whose families have lived there for centuries. Other have family ties, but have only been able to visit. They all have developed an expertise over the years, and are willing to share their perceptions, which we greatly appreciate!
We also have a photographic explanation of the Chas. Rasleigh system for obtaining water for Charlestown - remnants of the system still exist, in a lovely, moody setting, and a historical discussion of the ports and harbours on the Bay, from Fowey to Mevagissey.
The newspaper abstracts are part of a project transcribing the West Briton newspaper; a link to the website for all articles is available.
