Will the authorities ever learn what causes those Subterranean Hayle Stink Blues?

It is hardly news that much of West Cornwall is built on top of old mine workings. What makes this old news interesting in 2019 is the reluctance of a host of regulatory and commercial organisations to properly investigate, or understand, the consequences.  read more »

A reminder that first judging takes place on 4th July and yet again, last year, the judges commented on the community spirit they experienced whilst visiting our town. We would, therefore, again like to encourage all Hayle residents to ‘beautify’ their gardens, and pubs to get their ‘flower’ dressings on.

We would also encourage you to enter the Hayle Cup competitions (Best Residential Garden and Best Dressed Pub) to be judged in week beginning 29th July.

Entry forms are available from the 1st June at the following outlets :
Post Offices in Copperhouse and Foundry; Central Garage; Texaco Garage; Passmore Edwards Institute; Day Care Centre.

Hayle Celebration Day this year will take place on Sunday 21st July from 11m to 4 pm in the Recreation Ground. There should be something of interest for everyone, with plenty of stalls with many fantastic local craft items for sale as well as your chance to test your luck on our raffle, tombolas, and games of skill.

You can talk to the vintage, veteran and classic car exhibitors and find out more about their lovely vehicles.
Come along and listen to music provided by local entertainers and choirs throughout the day. There will be plenty of tasty bites available –BBQ, teas, cakes, ice cream, etc. You can then wash it all down with a drink from the beer wagon whilst the kids can go along to have fun on the bouncy castle, the free fun stall, get their face painted, etc.  read more »

Possibly named after a mountain in the Holy Land, where the river Jordan rises, this mine
has the distinction of being the oldest named mine in Cornwall to appear on a map, a
map from about 1560 at Hatfield House. In 1584 Norden marked it on his map of Penwith
Hundred, but without a name, as was his custom at the time. Situated at Porthnanven on
the southern side of the Cot or Kelynack Valley and extending a short way down the coast,
the mine has never had a change of name in the four and a quarter centuries of its existence,
apart from variants in spelling, though at one time it was worked with its neighbours Letcha
(late Cornish for a frying-pan) which adjoins it to the east, and Oak, adjoining Hermon
on the cliffs to the south.  read more »
