Camborne, Mining town in Cornwall, England
Camborne sits at the northern edge of its civil parish, encompassing sections of the South West Coast Path, Hell's Mouth, and Deadman's Cove.
The town transformed from a small village into an industrial center during the late 18th century when tin and copper mining operations expanded throughout the region.
The annual Trevithick Day features model exhibitions, vintage vehicles, performances by Male Voice Choirs, and traditional Bal Maidens' and Miners' Dances by local children.
The central location of Camborne provides access to the north coast of West Cornwall and contains numerous educational facilities, including the Camborne School of Mines.
Richard Trevithick constructed the Puffing Devil, the first self-propelled passenger vehicle, which made its initial journey through Camborne streets on Christmas Eve 1801.
