This is the first in a new series entitled Transport & Industrial Heritage that will provide readers with unique & well-researched histories exploring the true historical heritage of the country on a region by region basis. Cornwall is the first county under the spotlight & is an obvious region to feature; it is relatively self-contained but with a long industrial & transport heritage, including tin mining & china clay mining; a buoyant fishing industry & an extensive transport infrastructure that linked the county to the rest of Engl&. This book explores the origins & development of Cornwalls unique transport system, from early horse drawn wagons, to horse tramways & railways & of course shipping which was so important for trade, but also ferries which transported goods & people across estuaries & rivers; crossings which are still very much part of life in Cornwall in the 21st century. Industry & agriculture are also covered in depth, including all the many extractive industries, limestone burning, textile mills, flower growing, brewing & above all, fishing. Over the past three centuries the most remarkable phenomenon has been the development of the tourist industry & even though the rise of the package industry had a severe impact on numbers of tourists visiting the region, evidence today shows that business is steadily recovering with more than 5 million visitors each year, with new attractions such as the Eden Project proving a great pull, & watersports fans flocking in their thousands to enjoy the many attractions the coastline has to offer. The book

For social historians & industrial archaeologists this will provide a wealth of detail
