A Brief History of Helston Cornwall

A small town in the county of Cornwall, England, UK, Helston has a history which stretches back into the mists of time, it was settled by the Saxons as far back as the 6th century and was listed in the Domesday Book as ‘Henliston’. The name of the town is derived from the ancient Cornish Hen Lis (“Old Court”), the ‘ton’ added because it was a Saxon manor. Standing on the banks of the River Cober, Helston was at one time tidal and was in fact an inland port, which received coal and exported tin, the river access was however cut off by a sand bar and the port fell into disuse. Helston has always been connected with mining, with tin and copper mines in the areas around the town. These days Helston is more of a tourist destination, being just a couple of miles from the coast, and an ideal base for touring the western areas of Cornwall. Helston Map.

A Short History of Watford

First mentioned in Anglo Saxon chronicles of 1007, the town of Watford, in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, was never listed in the Domesday Book, and remained a small rural community ruled by a succession of feudal lords for many centuries, becoming a market town during the 18^th century. The Industrial Revolution of the late 18^th and 19^th centuries brought industry to the town, accelerated by the arrival of both the Grand Union Canal and the railway. As the factories and mills fell into ruin and disappeared, Watford became an important commercial centre for the Home Counties. Watford these days has a population of just under 80,000 and is well known for its football club Watford FC, and its chairman musician Elton John who grew up in the area. Watford Map.

Towns of Cornwall – Penzance

The ancient market town and fishing port of Penzance is the main town for the west of Cornwall, situated on the attractive Mount’s Bay, it is about 10 miles from Land’s End in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

With the decline in the fishing industry during the late 20th century, tourism has become more important for the town, with visitors attracted by the beautiful scenery and the local attractions such as St Michael’s Mount, Land’s End, the ancient tin mines, and Trengwainton Gardens.
