Cornish Road Transport
Through Time
£9.59
Early in the twentieth century the increasing number of motor vehicles led to each county being allocated distinctive letters to use in licencing. In Cornwall's case these were AF & every vehicle whether propelled by steam or by the internal combustion engine had to carry these letters in its registration. In this book Ernie Warmington has drawn on his wide-ranging collection of Cornish postcards & other memorabilia to show road transport in the county through time. Starting with the horse-drawn wagons which carried gold bullion between Falmouth & London in the late nineteenth century the author moves on to the early motor vehicles owned by bankers clergymen mine-owners & other local gentry & ends with the modern transport we all use today. With detailed captions providing historical & social context this is an intriguing compilation of images sure to delight anyone with an interest in Cornwall & its heritage. ...

Cornwalls Fallen
£9.59
1 July 1916 is a date that will be forever associated with the most bloody of battles to take place in the Great War: Somme. Almost 20 000 men had lost their lives by nightfall with twice that number wounded or missing. Newspapers printed calls to arms in 1914 & in the rush to join up there developed many Pals battalions men who had grown up together attended the same school played in the same teams worked in the same factories. Encouraged to stick together they were fresh recruits who joined up at the start of war & so every man who stood on the battlefield on that infamous day in 1916 had volunteered to do so. This book delves into the Cornish experience of the Great War specifically the road to the Somme & events on that terrible day. Nick Thornicroft has gathered information on the soldiers of Cornwall a far more remote county than the typical industrial northern counties histories usually focus on. The book follows the Old Contemptibles through training & up to the catastrophic Somme Offensive. The book concludes with a look at the long-term consequences of 1 July 1916 & throughout uses contemporary newspaper reports to describe local views mixed with the histories of the soldiers. ...
