Heritage Open Day: Mining heritage is about whole communities, not just those underground or processing ore. For Liskeard Unlocked, we’re mining connections —revealing how ordinary lives and livelihoods shape our shared story. Mining heritage is a shared community story, shaped by ordinary lives and the industry that left its mark on people and place. It reaches far beyond those who worked underground or processed ore on the surface, embracing families, trades, transport, shops and services, and the everyday livelihoods that grew alongside mining and supported towns and villages over generations.
