Abstract:

Paper describing the results of research into the changing landscape of Cornwall after industrialisation in the mid-eighteenth century. This resulted not only in landscapes of mining and industry but in the creation of new patterns of settlement and the display of wealth. The transfer of skills from the county to other parts of the world paradoxically led to a decline in its fortunes but the richness of this landscape heritage led to the World Heritage Site bid described in the paper.
