Goky Busvargus
Based on a true event that took place in the 1950's.The character name has been changed to prevent embarrassment of the family.
Apparently the real person actually took the wrong road and was still out walking around Newbridge and Sancreed in the dark.
Halsetown Boys
Based on a true story and from stories told by the older original Halsetown residents. Difficult to research as it predates much of Halsetowns construction. Apparently the cave in riled the men underground, but opened up a surface casm sucking in surface workers as well, killing up to forty people.
Bodmin Goal
Taken from real life as to how people were treated and kept. Poor William Condon really was hanged for stealing a watch.
Three Gold Pins
When the cousin jacks went to work abroad, one way they sent money back home for the womenfolk who were waiting for them was to have some of the gold or silver ore that they were working on, turned in to fancy stick pins with different motifs on for hats or hair and broaches of often crossed picks and shovels.
Carrick Roads
A song about the waterway that runs up to Falmouth.
The Dogs Of Pistyll Meadow
A quarter acre plot of land on the coast path from the Lizard towards Mullion. It was historically used a a cemetery to bury the shipwreck victims. Unfortunately due to notorious currents and storms around the lizard, many ships were claimed. So much so that Pistyll Meadow became very congested, resulting in graves becoming shallower and shallower. The story goes that the village dogs began digging into the graves and helping themselves. This resulted in the Lizard folk disposing of and not keeping dogs for at least 30 years.
Fifteen Bezants
A song sung by a father to entertain his little girl by telling the story of the Cornish people, making the most of the Cornish coat of arms to do so.
