I read an article by Tony Mansell about a small village nearby. In 1903 Blackwater was a stop on a new railway between Chacewater and Perranporth. Children had a free ticket for the first journey. Perhaps one grandson or granddaughter of a child from this school travelled on that train. (The line was closed again sixty years later.) It needed two more years for the next part of the railway to join Perran and Newquay together. A trace of the railway can still be seen on a map. But I saw a map from 1813 - and there is no sign of the railway or sign of Blackwater on it. Blackwater was a village for miners after 1813. There's no sign of a village in Goohhavern either - there is only Goonhavern mine. You can see the fields all around - grazing for the animals. There are no main roads, but there are lots of little roads and lanes - and lots of streams. There is even a road through the middle of Perran Round. There is a famous Cornishman, born in Blackwater, called John Passmore Edwards. He constructed buildings for the benefit of common people - Redruth Library for example.
