David Penhaligon said it best when addressing a meeting in Camborne. “ You need more in an economy than just tourism, ice cream and deckchairs. Our mining industry is not a figment of the last decade or the last two decades. It has occupied Cornishmen and it has produced wealth for this century, the previous century and probably the last two thousand years; and what we’re asking the government to do is to recognise the great contribution we have made for the wealth of Britain, and in this time of great trial and tribulation to come to our assistance - that’s what we’re asking our government to do.”

Yes. Because tourism is so important here, people are afraid to say clearly that other industries we know of would usually be better for our economy. The death of mining here left a void (and not just literally!)

This was such a sad time, something the Cornish has done for thousands of years, finished!

this was a blow from which cornwall did not recover, men in suits who didn't know what they were doing or what they were talking about given decision making power all because they have a piece of paper!
