Today I saw evidence of old and new technology in Cornwall. I went to Heartlands in the morning for a meeting. It is a cultural centre around old mine workings. Robinson's Shaft was closed in 1998. Prior to its closure, tin was mined in the area for almost 400 years. Today the historical exhibition was closed for maintenance, but I could still look at the buildings from the outside. They are built of big hard stones. There is a children's soft play zone for the summer. I walked home through a little village. The houses are also built of stone. There was a long ladder against a wall. Somebody has a new satellite dish on the roof. An ordinary aerial (antenna) does not get good television reception in a valley by a high hill. Grownups like their amusements as well.
