Gunnislake, Cornwall
30 June & 4 July 2009
Gunnislake (Cornish: Lynngonna) is one of the first villages in Cornwall, England, after crossing the River Tamar from Devon. Sprawled over the picturesque steep sides of the Tamar Valley, the village has a rich history in copper & tin mining.
During the mining boom in Victorian times more than 7000 people were employed in the mines of the Tamar Valley. During this period Gunnislake was held in equal standing amongst the richest mining areas in Europe.
