Flagstaff Cottage, home of Lamorna Birch, is in the centre of the picture above Freeman's Granite Quarry. 'Lamorna' (Cornish Nansmorrow) was first recorded in 1305 and tin streaming was first noted in the 1380s. Quarries were opened by John Freeman on St Aubyn land in 1849 and continued until 1911. Some notable uses of the stone were London CC offices; Thames Embankment; Wolf & Bishop Rock lighthouses and a plinth weighing 20 tons was sent to the Great Exhibition of 1851. In addition to Lamorna Birch, Lamorna was also home to Alfred Munnings and Harold & Laura Knight. Source: Wikipedia.
