Cornwall is very well known for tin and other metals through its mining and manufacturing history. In the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro you can see ingots of tin. Tin is too weak to be used all alone - but together with other metals it makes wonderful alloys. They are popular with artists and craftsmen. The bronze dogs in Redruth are formed like discarded miners' wellingtons. And I espied a different dog in a tavern yesterday - a wine bottle with a pewter coat.
