More about this scene
This distinguished market town lies at the head of a valley. It reached its height of its prosperity when the copper mines, at the edges of the wild wastes of Bodmin at Caradon Hill, were working at full capacity. The Parade is a spacious street bordered by elegant late-Georgian houses and stucco terraces.

Hi, does anyone in St Cleer have any fond memories of my late husband, Arthur Mitchell? He was raised in Rose Cottage and he is buried in the chapel in St Cleer with his late parents, Alice and Len. Arthur was driving for Darley Ford coaches when I met him in 1982. I would love to hear from anyone.

I'm pretty sure this was the Grammar school. Not sure when it changed into the Grammar School though. Perhaps I should have paid more attention! It expanded over the years with many temporary buildings added at various times. When I attended 1966-73 there were close on 400 pupils ranging from 11-19. One of whom decided he would burn the school down, and yet more temporary buildings were added as a result! Houses are on this land now.
