it off by mocking up a dummy,

the request that anyone interested
in the idea should come to a

for volunteers and Jeff and Sarah

Cornwall Hospice
Care Shop Opens
With more retail space and a
bigger area for receiving donated
goods, Cornish healthcare charity
Cornwall Hospice Care has
officially opened a new store in
Hayle’s Penpol Terrace. The
shop, which was the former Boots
Pharmacy, offers a wide range of
donated clothes, books, bric-a-
brac and gifts and is already
proving enormously popular.
Shoppers were queueing outside
the new store yesterday
(Wednesday 12th August) before
its official opening by the charity’s
Chief Executive Paul Brinsley who
said as he cut the ribbon; “The
people of Hayle are always
enormously supportive of our local
shop because our St Julia’s
Hospice is based in the town. I
thank them for their continuing
generosity and wish the team
here the very best of luck. I’m
delighted that we’re able to be a
part of this vibrant community and
a part of the high street as we
believe it’s very important to shop
local. Stores such as this one are
vital to our charity and make a
huge contribution to our work
caring for terminally ill patients.
4
Last year they collectively raised
more than £1million net profit,
sadly an achievement we won’t
be able to replicate this year due
to the pandemic.”
The shop, which will be open
from 10am to 4pm Tuesday to
Saturday each week, replaces
the former Cornwall Hospice
Care shop in Commercial Road
and is managed by Jim King; “It’s
good to have more room as we
are so well supported by our local
community. We’ve made the
store as Covid secure as we can
and I’d like to thank all those staff
and volunteers who’ve helped
shape this in to a very eye
catching and modern shop. We’re
accepting donations too, but
because we have to isolate
goods for 72 hours, we can only
take small numbers of bags and
boxes.
We’ll be operating a ‘first-come-
5
first-served’ system and once we’re
full we won’t be able to accept any
more donations on that day. I hope
people understand and of course
folk can take larger items or
furniture to one of our Donation
Centres, the nearest of which is in
Pydar Street, Truro.”
The new Hayle shop is one of 17
Cornwall Hospice Care stores that
the charity has now been able to
reopen. For more information visit

Carne, commented, "Honouring those who have made outstanding contributions is a proud part of Gorsedh Kernow’s commitment to our community." Millponds Update I feel I must begin in this update by answering Robin Phillips’ letter to the Editor because far from being no ducklings this year by the middle of June we had two broods, one of seven and one of ten babes, plus our survivor from the ducklings hatched in May. This is the largest number recorded on the ponds and thirteen have survived and they are growing well.Our drakes have all returned and have been going through their annual moult. We are feeding them with corn to keep them healthy and they are doing well so far. We see Harvey, our heron, now and then and two or three egrets. There is also a kingfisher, if you are lucky enough to spot it. We were a little worried about the health of our golden carp, but he seems to be thriving in the Swan Pool and he has made friends with the six ducklings which have become residents on the top 8
pond and swims around with
them. Goldie is about twenty
years old, but as long as he is
active we will keep an eye on his
progress.
The Gardens and the Rope Walk
are being kept tidy and we are
very grateful for everyone’s
efforts to respect the area, but we
do have worries now that the
recycling centres have been
removed and waste might be left
there. We have some beautiful
wild flowers on both the Rope
Walk and the River banks which
would be damaged by dumping.
All we can do is keep hoping that
all stays well.
Keep enjoying the summer. See
you all again soon.

This has been an unusual summer with no R.H.S. competition and judging in July to focus our attention on. However, as you know, planting took place throughout the town as usual and the containers and beds have been maintained during the summer by Hayle in Bloom volunteers and regularly watered by Olivia Pellow, our town gardener. Thanks also go to other organisations e.g. Women’s Institute, which have been responsible for specific growing areas. Congratulations to staff and pupils of St. Piran’s school who have maintained the murals and re-planted the installations near Phillps and also to Paul Clark, who has master-minded the stocking and maintenance of the Isis Gardens in Foundry Square. Finally, I imagine all Hayle residents have appreciated the way that Olivia and Tony have maintained the King George V Memorial Walk for us all to enjoy 10
in these difficult times.
Our Chair, Richard B., would like
to thank all H.I.B. volunteers for
all the hard work they have put in
to help make Hayle look good this
summer. He also notes that many
residential gardens are looking
really good this year, so ‘well
done’ to all readers who have
made their gardens look so well-
tended and colourful this
summer !
Talking of lovely gardens, here
are the results of the H.I.B. 2020

20North Quay Footpath
Registration- Your Help
Needed
Many of you will have noticed
fencing and signs going up on
North Quay cutting off footpaths
that have been walked,
unimpeded, for decades if not
centuries. This sign accompanies
the fencing cutting off the paths to
the south and west of the cricket
club.
Even the Electric Works Road,
used since 1905 when the original
footpath was cut off by the power
station, now has a ‘permissive
footpath’ sign implying that the
owner could refuse permission at
any time. I can remember driving a
car along this path back in the 70s
and 80s.
To register these paths as
‘definitive’, and ensure they are
not lost, it is necessary to collect
evidence of use, without being
challenged, over a twenty-year
period. There is a simple, if
tedious, form to complete. If you,
and family and friends, have
walked these paths over the last
21twenty or more years, please complete the form which you can download from http://hayle.net/ footpaths.htm. You don’t have to have covered the whole twenty year period, it will help if you have used the paths at any time over the last 1 to 50 years. Please return forms to me for collation and submission – the more forms we get, the better. Note that the developer of much of the area, Corinthian Land, has promised to include rights of way in the final development. It will, however, make the case for sufficient rights of way easier if we have your forms as evidence. Also, the Electric Road has been used for so long it would be quite a shock if it were closed to pedestrians. John Bennett. jb@john- bennett.com. 07876152915.

BECOME A
TRUSTEE
Right at the heart of Foundry
Square in Hayle, Harvey’s
Foundry Trust (HFT) manages
and operates the remaining
buildings of Harvey’s Foundry as
a Heritage Centre and as offices
that help to fund our charitable
objectives. We started back in
1985, initially as the Hayle Town
Trust, and we have now
completed three phases of
restoration. Phase three was
valued at £4 million and included
superb renovations of two historic
buildings close to collapse. We
now have our eye on Phase 4!
26We are always looking for new
trustees and the only requirements
are to be 18 years old or older and
enthusiastic about Hayle’s
heritage. We meet formally every
three months but various
committees meet more frequently.

THE CAST
The Cast wishes and hopes that
every one of you is well and safe
during these very strange and
stressful times. Our most sincere
condolences go out to anyone
who may have lost relatives or
friends through covid 19. These
strange times will end and we will
all get through this by maintaining
a strong and positive attitude and
strictly adhering to all regulations.
Needless to say, we have had no
alternative but to cancel current
performance dates for our Aladdin
production. However, even with
lockdown and self isolation, The
Cast is going strong with everyone
learning their lines at home and
27keeping in contact by phone and social media. Our talented and incredible wardrobe mistress is alone at her machine producing the most fantastic costumes. The production team is designing and developing scene designs by still being in self isolation and using social media and video calls. All this shows and demonstrates the remarkable dedication and talents of the whole crew. So, with all this in mind, please be assured that The Cast WILL be bringing Aladdin to you when it is totally safe and practical to do so. At least it will give Aladdin a little more time to find his lamp and also give time for Widow Twankey to sort her laundry! We will continue to use these articles to ensure that you are constantly updated on our activities. Stay Safe! 28
DYNAMIC DUNESCAPES

management has resulted in
some dunes becoming over-

vegetation. We now know that
healthy sand dunes need to be
free to move - to be dynamic.
Dynamic Dunescapes is a new
partnership project, restoring
7000 hectares of sand dune
habitat across England and
Wales for the benefit of wildlife,
people and communities. In
Cornwall the project is being
delivered by Cornwall Wildlife
Trust, at two different areas of
dunes: Penhale Dunes near
29carefully chosen locations. We are also improving overgrown dune slacks (damp or water-filled dips in the dunes) which are great places for lots of dune wildlife. Invasive species, including garden escapees, are being removed from the dunes, to create opportunities for native plants to flourish. Also, grazing animals are being used to increase dune health - by munching on plants they help to maintain a diverse mosaic of habitats. We are also encouraging responsible use of these beautiful areas. There are a wide variety of ways the project is encouraging people to visit the dunes, to get to know them and help protect them, including: Supporting existing volunteer groups such as ‘Friends of The Towans’ and creating new volunteer opportunities, such as species monitoring and ‘dune health’ surveys via our new Citizen Science project Working with local schools, colleges and universities, to support using the dunes for learning 30

11th September 2001
A little bit of Cornwall
Lies in a foreign field
A man who faced adversity
Whose spirit did not yield.
Rick truly loved this land of ours
The same as you and I
This Hayle man who gave his life
A little bit of Cornwall When duty called he did not shrink
Lies in a foreign field He knew what had to be done
A man who faced adversity America has sadly lost a man
Whose spirit did not yield. But Cornwall’s lost A SON.
Rick truly loved this land of ours —James Davey
The same as you and I
This Hayle man who gave his life
That others might not die.
A man that sang of Cornwall
When all he loved seemed lost
Who thought of home and family
Yet heeded not the cost.
His story touched each one of us
His memory gives me pride
His courage lit a burning flame
That stirred a warmth inside.
The Silver Star they gave him
Meant more that words convey
It recognised the hero
This man we mourn today.

In 1852, a mighty fire destroyed the mill and the younger William rebuilt and extended it to the five- storey building we see today. William Hosken was a progressive businessman who sought the latest milling technology, started making the popular white flour and supplied it throughout West Cornwall. William married Catherine Pick whose father, Sam, had leased the Hayle Hotel from the Rev Hockin. When Sam got into financial difficulties, William and his family moved in and renamed it Penmare. William had two children: Samuel, a farmer, who was more interested in the herd of cattle than the mill, and Catherine, who rode around West Cornwall helping her father by dealing with his customers. Catherine married John Rosewarne, a yeoman farmer at Nanpuska, in 1853. As he grew older, William became concerned for the future of the business he had developed and 38
