Camborne
Camborne is a town and civil parish in west Cornwall. It forms the western edge of a conurbation consisting of Camborne, Pool and Redruth. Many settlements comprise the civil parish, for example Beacon, Croft Mitchell, Higher Condurrow, Penponds, Roskear Croft, Treswithian Downs and Troon. The town was among the richest tin mining areas in the world through the 18th and 19th centuries, which dramatically 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 on the list of the world's deepest and oldest mines until closing in 1921. Camborne was also home to the last functioning tin mine in Europe, South Crofty, until its closure in 1998. The population in 2011 was recorded as having increased to 20845, being a part of the largest conurbation in Cornwall. A sizable urban renewal programme is presently 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 enhance employment possibilities in the town for its inhabitants. It has also been involved in the development of sites and important projects, including the east-west link road between Redruth and Camborne.
