The best sailing waters

With the development of the railway in Victorian and Edwardian times, people sought the mild climate and sea bathing as a respite from city life. Fishing was an industry that provided an income for locals and although Marazion did not have a harbour the one on St. Michael's Mount. For centuries, mined ores were exported from both Marazion and St. Michael's Mount by traders and shippers. The town was surrounded with many mines, some having such enigmatic names as Wheal Prosper, Wheal Crab, Wheal Rodney, Tolvadden and South Neptune. These and other mines in the area remained active until the depression in the tin and copper industries in the late 1800s. However, many of the mine names are still preserved in some form or other today.
