Hi

Oh No!!!

This brilliant site seems to have stopped functioning.  Does anyone know whether the information is available elsewhere?


Tks

Thanks for the further contributions.  All very relevant.

I have been in touch with the Archive Office and have received great help and huge encouragement. There are lots of brewery records, trade directories etc as well. I understand that everything is filed under "Pendarves Arms".  One explanation for the name confusion may be that there was, and still is,  another inn with the same name not too far away at Tuckingmill.  There are some references to "the Pendarves Arms, the inn at Beacon", that likely just got shortened to Beacon Inn which over time, became the official name.

Great stuff on the Chapel and Trevithick as well!

Hi Alan

Gosh!  What a great job you have done for me.  I am over the moon with this.  Certainly more info here than I have collected over the past 2 months.

The Inn is much older than I thought it would be - I was expecting around 1870s.  Also much larger.
I have not come across the earlier name so will look out for this.

So excited that I don't really want to go out for Sunday lunch - would much prefer to start delving further and kick starting my research.

So much appreciated.

Thank you lots.

I would appreciate any suggestions on where I might find  online sources regarding the history of the village of Beacon and the Beacon Inn.  Have not yet found anything by Google and Camborne library could not  assist.

Many thanks

Hi

Does anyone know whether this place is still operating.  The Familysearch website states only open Thursday between 10.30-15.30.

Emailed a couple of times without receiving a reply.  Found the church ok today but everything seemed locked up.

Would be interested to learn more about the facilities & help available. 

Tks

Hi.

What Facebook page would that be please?

There seem to be a few.

Is there a Roman Catholic burial ground  at Pontlottyn?

Thank you so much for this link.

Fascinating stuff - I have found a couple of references to the names I am researching.  It seems that my folk first appeared in Bedwellty, Monmouthshire but are later in Mountain Ash and Pontlottyn.

I'm putting together a reading list of background history for these places which are not familiar to me.
The newspaper reports are great sources of contemporary events.

Much appreciated.
