Book Synopsis Tin Coast, Cornwall by : Clare Gogerty
Download or read book Tin Coast, Cornwall written by Clare Gogerty and published by History Press. This book was released on 2017-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tin Coast stretches from Cape Cornwall to Pendeen Watch, the end of mainland Britain. It began with nature's creation of abundant riches. Mining from the medieval to the modern era left a lengthy industrial legacy, scars scraped into the ground and towers built to house powerful engines. These monuments to toil teach us much about human determination and delight us with their romantic dereliction. On the Tin Coast you can find solitude or adventure, and reflect on a landscape that drove such determination and innovation. With breath-taking photography throughout, original bird's-eye artwork, and a fascinating narrative that encompasses thousands of years of history, this guidebook uncovers the attractions that drew and continue to draw people to this spectacular stretch of coast. From the treasure trove of minerals that drove human ingenuity literally to the earth's end, to the wealth of natural beauty to be found today above ground, Clare Gogerty's guide to the Tin Coast is itself a mine of information.

Book Synopsis Coleton Fishacre by : Josephine Moore
Download or read book Coleton Fishacre written by Josephine Moore and published by National Trust. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coleton Fishacre was the weekend retreat of opera and hospitality impresario Rupert D'Oyly Carte, son of Richard, whose family company gave us the hugely popular operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan and owned both the Art Deco-furnished Savoy and Claridge's hotels in London. In the 1920s Rupert and Lady Dorothy D'Oyly Carte were sailing along the south Devon coast. Looking for a country retreat, they were inspired to make this beautiful valley running down to the sea the site for an elegant home where they could entertain in style and indulge their passion for the outdoors. Designed and built by Oswald Milne and inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement, a former assistant to architect Edwin Lutyens, the house was built using local materials including stone quarried from the garden. It was the ideal location for relaxation, outdoor pursuits and entertaining. Amongst the many weekend guests were the conductor Sir Malcolm Sargent and the painter Charles Ricketts. Visitors would take part in bridge parties, shooting, fishing, sailing and spending time in Pudcombe Cove, a private beach at the bottom of the garden. Its magical setting, a 12-hectare (30-acre) garden, offers enticing glimpses out to sea, paths through tranquil glades, and tender plants from the Mediterranean, South Africa and New Zealand. This most evocative of holiday homes, built in the Arts and Crafts style, is imbued with 1920s elegance and an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication, still with all the appeal that first attracted Rupert to build it. This guide explores the Art Deco interiors of the house, life above and below stairs, the magnificent garden and terraces leading to the sea. It details the planning and planting of the garden, accompanied by bird's eye view maps and house floor plans and stunning colour photography.
