There is a joke in Redruth: “What is the best thing in Camborne?” “The road towards Redruth,” is the answer. And there is a corresponding joke in Camborne: “What is the best thing in Redruth?” and there is a corresponding answer, “The road towards Camborne!” There is only four miles between the two towns, by way of Cornwall College and Heartlands at Pool. There is rivalry between them. They are important in Cornwall's industrial history. In Camborne there's a statue of Richard Trevithick, engineer and inventor. There is a “Trevithick Day” in April, with a procession of steam rollers and other steam engines. Trevithick went to Peru for a long time and his wife stayed in Cornwall with their six children. She was the landlady of a large inn in Hayle.
