Camborne is a town in west Cornwall, England. The northern edge of the parish includes a section of the South West Coast Path, Hell's Mouth and Deadman's Cove. Camborne was formerly one of the richest tin mining areas in the world and home to the Camborne School of Mines.
Camborne is in the western part of the largest urban and industrial area in Cornwall with the town of Redruth 3 miles (4.8 km) to the east. It is the ecclesiastical centre of a large civil parish and has a town council. Camborne-Redruth is on the northern side of the Carn Brea/Carnmenellis granite upland which slopes northwards to the sea. The two towns are linked by the A3047 road which was turnpiked in 1839 and the villages along the road (from the west) were Roskear, Tuckingmill, Pool and Illogan. Running north-south are a number of small streams with narrow river valleys which have been deeply-cut following centuries of tin streaming and other industrial processes.
The first mention of the medieval Camborne churchtown is in 1181 although in 1931 the ruins of a probable Romano-British villa were found at Magor Farm, Illogan, near Camborne, and excavated that year under the guidance of the Royal Institution of Cornwall. By 1708 Camborne had rights to hold markets and three fairs a year which may be an indication of tin mining in the area; Camborne's was inland and in an unfavourable location for trading. Mining is first recorded locally in the 1400s with early exploitation of the small streams cutting through the mineralised area and from shallow mines following lodes.
Camborne is best known as a centre for the former Cornish tin and copper mining industry, having its working heyday during the later 18th and early 19th centuries. Camborne was just a village until transformed by the mining boom which began in the late eighteenth century and saw the Camborne and Redruth district become the richest mining area in the world.
The A30 trunk road now by-passes the Town around its northern edge. The old A30 through the Town has become the A3047. There is a small bus station halfway along and to the south of Trelowarren Street (the main high street), which has featured in tales by Cornish comedian Jethro. The railway station is a half-mile south from the town centre, with a level crossing and footbridge at its eastern end. Camborne station used to be famous for its short platforms, which meant that passengers on main line services between London and Penzance could only board and alight from certain carriages.
Camborne was, for a quarter of a century, one of the termini of Cornwall's only tram service. This system was opened in November 1902 and ran a regular service to Redruth until it closed in September 1927. Camborne is twinned with two places: Santez-Anna-Wened in Brittany, France, and Pachuca, Hidalgo in Mexico. Camborne was twinned with Pachuca at a ceremony in Mexico on 3 July 2008.

Gardenesque
This video explores three private gardens in Chicago's North Shore suburbs not normally open to the public, an event hosted by the Garden Conservancy's Open Days Program. Our first stop, in Lake Bluff, was Crab Tree Farm. This is the last remaining farm in Illinois that overlooks Lake Michigan. The gardens, designed in part by Jens Jensen, and buildings date to the 1920s. Camera in hand on this foggy morning, we made some serendipitous discoveries including a bird's nest with eggs.
Our next stop was a Georgian residence in Highland Park owned by a landscape architect. Last, we visited an Evanston street lined with stately homes, where we explored a walled garden with whimsical touches.
Gardenesque is an art film about nature, beauty and tranquility. The fog and hazy sun, combined with greenery enriched by the plentiful rain, created an ethereal effect. The smooth-flowing visuals accompanied by sensuous solo piano is guaranteed to calm and relax you.

A Tour Of Chicago 1930s (home movie)
My grandfather, Noel A Hughes, filmed this home movie in 8 mm and edited it as shown. His probable intention was to use it as part of a lecture about Chicago. This was probably filmed around 1936 and 1937. At the time my grandfather was finishing his degree at George Williams College and planning to return to his family home in Australia. (For more about my grandfather's journey to Chicago, visit ) He ended up staying in Chicago and having a long career with the Evanston YMCA.

Salt Lake City 2015 | 22 of 34 | Snowy and Icy I-80 | HD
The segment begins on a rural part of Interstate 80, where at first it's not that bad as for driving in the snow. Then conditions get much, much worse as the entire highway is snow-covered! As you can probably tell, I'm driving very slow! Probably around 50 mph. Conditions appear to improve around the 30 minute point in the video, but around 42:02 we encounter a accident! Apparently a semi jackknifed and then another semi ran right through the trailer! So of course there's a traffic jam, and in icy conditions that's not good. just remember ladies and gentlemen, black ice is real! On the other side of the accident conditions deteriorate.
I will say that the interstate is half covered with snow. But still very cautiously as I proceed to Laramie. The segment in about 10 miles from Laramie.
