The latest date I know of for Cornwall is 22nd November, 1988 in Falmouth. Might be worth going back to the broadwalk on the next sunny day! For the record could you say where you saw it so I can get a grid for it?
Hi Jowan. The location was the dock and river end of Par Beach Pool. SX0853. The boardwalk is a man made structure crossing the slightly marshy area we call the wilderness. This is all part of the Clay Nature Trail. Roger Lane told me the county list latest was the 5th December 1990 at Marazion. Hope this helps.
A Market Town since 1189 and has now undergone a major regeneration program .
The new shopping and leisure centre (White River Place) opened October 2009 and employs 500 - 700 people.
Imery's modernized China Clay industry employs 2000 which is a huge drop from the early 20th Century when tin, copper and china clay found in the hills made St Austell a major Cornish industrial centre.
Another industry still alive and kicking is the St Austell Brewery which celebrated 150 years of trading in 2001.
