Camborne is a town and civil parish in west Cornwall. It forms the western edge of a conurbation comprising Camborne, Pool and Redruth. Many settlements comprise the civil parish, like Beacon, Croft Mitchell, Higher Condurrow, Penponds, Roskear Croft, Treswithian Downs and Troon. The town was among the richest tin mining areas in the world during the 18th and 19th centuries, which significantly transformed the town and its landscape. The opening of Dolcoath Mine in 1860, known as the 'Queen of Cornish Mines', went as deep as 3500 feet, which was one of the world's deepest and oldest mines until closing in 1921. Camborne was also home to the final functioning tin mine in Europe, South Crofty, until its closure in 1998. The population in 2011 was recorded as having risen to 20845, being a part of the biggest conurbation in Cornwall. A big urban renewal programme is currently taking place in the town by CPR Regeneration, one of the government's Urban Regeneration companies. This includes driving the re-development of the previous industrial land, and attracting and supporting local businesses to help them create sustainable jobs to improve employment opportunities in the town for its residents. It has also been involved in the development of sites and key projects, for instance the east-west link road in between Redruth and Camborne.
