Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the history and development of mining in the northern part of Cornwall from the mid-18th century with a particular focus on St. Agnes. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including contemporary accounts, maps, and geological surve…ys, to piece together a detailed and informative account of the region's mining industry. The book explores the social, economic, and technological aspects of mining in St. Agnes, and examines the impact of the industry on the local environment, the Cornish economy, and Cornish society. The author argues that the decline of Cornish mining in the 19th century was due to a combination of factors, including the exhaustion of easily accessible ore deposits, the competition from foreign mines, and the lack of investment in new technology. Nonetheless, the book concludes by stressing the enduring legacy of mining in St. Agnes, and the importance of preserving the region's mining heritage. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
