23:18-23:54 Good grief!

Good to hear! I can trace my Blewett family to Cornwall and back to Holcomb Rogus and eventually to the Viking Walter Bluet (born 987ad)! Although don't have the Cornish accent its great to hear some celtic cornish music. thank you!. So hello cousin and thanks for the music.

They should really teach Cornish Wrestling all over the West Country

Fascinating to hear about Cornish Traditions. I was born in Budock & my family made Hevva Cake to the same recipe as Margaret’s; I still make it that way ….. sprinkled with sugar before it’s popped into the oven. I wonder if Margaret has a ‘proper’ saffron cake recipe. ??????

Came by this video by accident. What fabulous singers. Love it

God bless all Kernow folk. God bless those at Levant.

Brilliant to see a community coming together.

How could a shaft over a thousand feet long hold together. That thing was insane but clever.

When I was a miner in the 70s we didn't wash our backs either, often large arm muscles made this almost impossible, but the tradition was your bathing partner washed it for you and you reciprocated the act on him. We washed each others backs and we watched each others backs such was life as a miner .

This is a very good documentary on this event. I’ve seen others on UA-cam, but none that put more of an human face on it than this. Although, I wouldn’t have minded being spared the 'Vogon Poetry' at the end; twas truly heinous.😉

Around 3:00, could someone please explain to me how washing your back could make them weak? What am I missing here?

Fantastic

This government of ours seem to give an impression that they are kind generous and caring for their people. When something like this happens they don’t want to know. If you go back in history you will see just how disgusting the British government are.

Heartbreaking just heartbreaking. People who have lived their lives remembering those poor men and this terrible scandalous disaster. I’m glad we at least have this record, voices that were actually there to remember and bear witness. Rest in peace all.

the three elders are umpires of some sort i'm presuming?

Read about Levant when I was a schoolboy (from D. Bradford Barton's brilliant little book series probably), and stumbled upon this video by chance. It's very interesting - some might say downright depressing - that, despite huge changes in the law, the sort of serious omissions/ negligence then subsequent conduct of fund trustees does still happen occasionally 105 years later.

A very valuable video of this terrible tragedy. To remember & not to forget!! Very sad to see the corruption & greed from the owners of the company towards the mens families who died in this disaster!….SHAMEFUL & DISGUSTING!

Why not just speak in english so we can understand?

Braint yw e i wrando ar gernyweg (it's a privilege listening to cornish)

I've been trying to learn more about my heritage, and this account has really helped. my cornish ancestors moved to America so I've really been missing out. thank you :)

My life was in coal, rather than tin mining and I know that every man had each other's back at all times and, without a second thought, would put their own lives at risk to help a fellow miner. The finest men I have ever known.

Brave men indeed to do such work.

Me when i find a lot of tin:

This is nothing remotely like a Cornish hedge. Leonard Hugh a retired Hedger and Farmworker from Kestle Mill taught me the basics 60 years ago. He would have wept at this mess. For starters, this stone being used is totally unsuitable for a Cornish Hedge! The "infill" is just as important! There is a need for scrappage stone in the centre, just soil will wash out causing collapse.

Hi ive just made this. Does it have an unusual texture ? It seems like a bit of a pastry more than a cake but seems undercooked alrhough it is ? Its not sweet really and very dough like / pastry. Not sure if ive done it wrong ? Thanks x

What an Horrendous tragedy.. it wasn't an accident really... the management knew the engine was old as the hills . they should've sorted it out ..Corporate manslaughter more like.. It was all about the money. and still is.. awful attitude ..

Hello, do we have any photographs of what Douglas looked like, my family in Australia has a painting of a man that was painted by Edith. Wondering if it was him. Cheers

All Kernowyon should wrassle, great fun!

My Grandmother either bought or commissioned 4 paintings by DP before leaving Newquay as a war bride ( married an American) and going to the US. Those paintings lived in the US for 12 yrs, then back to Cornwall for 25ish years, and now hang on my walls in the US again. :) I think she got them to remind her of Cornwall when she was away....and I enjoy them, as they remind me of my home too.

Facinating, thank you.

Splann!

Couldn’t the company building the road have taken on young apprentices and paid for their training in building proper Cornish hedges instead of this embarrassment?

indeed what language is this?:) i really felt if i kept listening i would pick it up like maybe english with a heavy cornish accent but no

Tough community of people

Is this german you are speaking? Can I have the recipe please?

Fantastic film find, we stayed here just over 8 years ago for an amazing 2 weeks, I wish we could again but it was sold shortly after and was no longer available😢 waking up with these views in this unique place was so special, it will always be a favourite of ours.

Love the video we know the area well keep them coming. Love Newquay 😊

I am blessed to have your Voices on a regular basis locally 🙏

My mother was born in 1919

The Cornish wrestlers were the only ones Yukio Tani couldn't defeat when he brought judo/jujutsu to England over 100 years ago.

Enjoyed this, listening to old Newquay names, Hoare, Trebilcock and Pappin etc.

Sadly cant understand...subtitles would of been good..

Excellent stuff now how about the St Columb (Edyvean's) Canal

What lovely accents they all have. Its a real shame, but you rarely hear anybody with a Cornish accent anymore

No mention of Bonnett or footage. Loved the footage of Young David Trebilcock!

Both sides of my family mined here and Geevor. My great grandfather survived the Levant mine disaster but lost part of his hand and was left with a cleft pallete. Kernow bys vyken!
