I have found an old map of part of this parish. What can we see? It shows things under the ground - old mine workings, tunnels and adits. And can I see mine shafts too? Fortunately, there is no mine under my house, nor a shaft in my garden. On the map you can see the big hill, now overgrown with thorn trees. Where is the engine-house on the map? Do you like the Poldark books by Winston Graham? He lived nearby and he used the name "Nampara" in his stories.
