Gunnislake
Gunnislake is a large village in east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is positioned in the Tamar Valley almost 10 miles (16 km) north of Plymouth. Gunnislake is in the civil parish of Calstock and is close to Cornwall's border with Devon which follows the course of the River Tamar. It has an electoral ward in its own name that includes much of Calstock and the surrounding area. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the village has a permanent population of around 4574 people. The village has a history of mining and much of the town's advancement is owed to this commercial activity, although this industry is no longer active in the area. During the course of the mining boom in the Victorian period, more than 7000 people were employed in the mines of the Tamar Valley. During this time, Gunnislake was held in equal standing amongst the wealthiest mining spots in Europe. The region is predominantly residential with a small handful of organisations, which vary from clubs to garages and small shops. Gunnislake is located in the Tamar Valley designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, although some modern industrial development has actually been attempted and achieved. Within early 2006, Hingston Down Quarry installed a new asphalt production tower which is easily visible as it dominates the horizon of Gunnislake. Ever since 2001, the village has actually annually hosted its own festival, involving a range of activities throughout a week-long event. There is a King George's Field in memorial to King George V set in lower Gunnislake for recreational and sport activities. The town is also the home of Gunnislake Football Club. For all your home renovations, be sure to identify trusted experts in Gunnislake to make certain of quality.
