📚 This month’s #ExploreYourArchives theme is Education! Today we looked at 1935–36 timetables from Delaware Road School, Gunnislake. Children aged 5–14 studied until 4pm—but had a generous 1½ hour lunch! A glimpse into school life 90 years ago. 🕰️ #archives #CornwallHistory

A royal day to remember! Students & staff at Pool Academy were thrilled as HRH The Princess Royal landed on the school field during her visit to South Crofty Mine. A proud moment #RoyalVisit #PoolAcademy #CornwallHistory

A week ago I stumbled upon Charlotte Dymond’s grave in Davidstow Churchyard. Murdered in 1844, she haunts Cornwall still. Love, jealousy, injustice; and a ghost in the mist. Some voices refuse to be silenced. #CharlotteDymond #CornwallHistory #TrueCrimeUK
