  • Summary

  • Cornwall has a long history of mining, and in this episode we explore the legends and superstitions held by Cornish miners. Stories of the famous Cornish Knockers, and tales of a ghost said to haunt a particular mine on Cornwall's north coast. We chat to local historian Roger Radcliffe, to get his thoughts on these legends, and the realities of working in a mine.
