Yesterday's answers:
Next question: "Trevithick drove his steam engine up Redruth Hill." This is a lie. The hill was Camborne Hill.
Extra question: "Brown Willy is a tall hill near Redruth." This is false. Brown Willy is in Bodmin Moor.
Trevithick is commemorated every year in April - but that will not be possible this year. Therefore, I am remembering years gone by. There's a replica of Trevithick's steam engine made by the Trevithick Society. It's driven along the streets in Camborne, along with many other steam engines, steam rollers and steam traction engines. By a hotel there are very small steam engines - all made by enthusiasts. And there are steam organs from fairgrounds playing music. There are lots of balmaidens and miners - schoolchildren in traditional costumes - dancing in a procession in the street. There are other children in a caravan towed by a traction engine. There are coins laid down on the road to be rolled thin by huge wheels.
