 Cornwall's
Forgotten Corner - by Tony Carne
At the extreme south eastern corner of Cornwall is Rame Head. a massive,
brooding pile of slate which juts out into the sea dominating the
coastline amidst steep cliffs and jagged rocks. The Rame Peninsula is the name which is loosely
applied to the narrow strip of land which lies immediately behind the
coast, washed on the northern flanks by the Lynher and Tamar Rivers, and
on the east side by the waters of Plymouth Sound. It comprises the
ancient parishes of Maker. Rame, Saint John and Sheviock.
This is Cornwall's Forgotten Corner.

activity.The son of a smuggler and raised in the precarious environment
of a militant free trading community, John Pollard joined the Royal Navy
at the age of eleven, achieved a long and distinguished career and
earned a place in history that far exceeded the expectations of a
smuggler's son.

 RAME
PENINSULA THROUGH TIME - by Derek Tate
The Rame Peninsula is a beautiful part of Cornwall.
Known as "The Forgotten Corner" it stretches from Torpoint to Cremyll
and includes the villages of Kingsand, Cawsand, Millbrook, St John,
Sheviock, Antony and Crafthole together with the sandy beaches of
Whitsand Bay. Also included is the Mount Edgcumbe Estate with its many
follies, wonderful gardens and stunning views.
This fascinating selection of more than 180 photographs traces some of
the many ways in which the Rame Peninsula has changed and developed over
the last century.
There have been many changes to the surrounding villages including new
buildings, transport and fashions. From the days when people would row
over from Stonehouse in Plymouth with picnics, to enjoy in the park or
on the beaches of Cawsand and Kingsand, to more recent days of cars,
buses and holiday homes. This book will appeal to the many people who
I'm sure enjoy the beauty and history of the
Rame Peninsula as much as I do. |
