View from my (very occasional) bedroom window, early one morning. Looking over Poldice valley.

Dawn, August 2014. St Day, Cornwall.
Well, it's still my bedroom window even if I haven't spent more than 10 nights here in the past 5 years!
The building in front is the annexe to my parents house. It comprises a good sized ground floor kitchen and on the upper floor bedrooms and a bathroom. This annexe used to be a temporary bedding down place for tin miners who had worked a late shift; the property being in the possession of a tin mine captain.
Poldice Valley seen in the distance and with a chimney just visible, was a world centre of arsenic mining and production. Even today, 150 years later , nothing grows there and certainly no houses can be be built on the poisoned land. The life expectancy of the miners was horrendous! Not all Cornwall is romantic!!!
