Nice start, Coquet. I'll see if I can find any of the Cornish blacklegs left behind.
Yeah, felt like I needed a break from the death and destruction of the 1915 page. Get's you down after a while. [Although I did some work on it this morning; can work on it for hours on end now and you can't see where I've been]

Did you dig any deeper with Robert Arthur Fitzhardinge Kingscote? Was he a Colonel in the 17th Lancers? born 1811? Still find it astonishing someone could plonk a colliery down on your land without your full approval.


I've put some of the Dand v. Kingscote in the next post. The second bolded bit is worth reading for a description of the start of the project.
