Summary Rick explores the natural resources that made now sleepy backwater Cornwall one of the richest corner of the British isles for a long time. Since Antiquity, mining has been extensive, from copper, tin and iron ore to coal for the Industrial Revolution, and various rarer minerals. It was a backbreaking, dangerous hard life for laborers, often under Dickensian conditions, but gathered fortunes for owners. Furthermore, many foods are grown or harvested from the sea.
