The Godolphin Bal Maidens written by Lynne Mayers and has been published by Fastprint Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2010 with Clay industries categories.

This book records the life and work of the women and girls who worked at the mines and clay works in the Godolphin area, covering the eight parishes of Breage, Crowan, Germoe, Helston, Marazion, Perranuthnoe, St Hilary and Sithney. Although overshadowed by its more famous neighbour (the central mining district around Carn Brea) this area was the home of the first extensive deep mines, and also of the largest tin mine ever opened in Cornwall. As a result, it was probably the first to employ women and girls on the dressing floors in large numbers. While most were dressing tin, others were engaged in preparing copper, lead, soapstone or clay.

This book gives glimpses into the life and work of the women and girls who worked at the mines on the north coast of Cornwall (between Portreath and Padstow). Female employment was widespread here, with the earliest accounts coming from the late 18th century copper mines. It continued through until the early 20th century, with the last bal maidens working at the tin mines in St Agnes. This was a significant mining area with complex mineralogy, so bal maidens dressed lead, silver, zinc, iron and clay, as well as copper and tin. In addition to describing their work, there is an assessment of the numbers of bal maidens employed, and an overview of women and girls from key mining families. There are also accounts of a six year-old bal maiden who lived to be one hundred years old, and a Portreath ore dresser who helped in the discovery of copper in Australia, as well as the tragic story of the bal maiden who died in a boiler explosion, at United Hills Mine.

In the best of times and in darker days, the strong family unit is one of the most valuable building blocks of our societies. The Cornish family, in its individuality, in its far-flung breadth and with its sense of worldwide community, is a vigorous example of this truth. In this magnificent book, Dr Bernard Deacon explores who we are, our forefathers and our descendants, where we come from and where we are headed and how these major themes are expressed in the meaning of our names.
