Camborne grew on tin and copper, and its engineering tradition continues in the industrial premises that line the A3047 through Tuckingmill and Pool. Former mine land between the towns has been steadily reclaimed for housing, employment space and link roads, a process that involves large volumes of earth moving and, consequently, a lot of mud on roads that also carry the area’s daily traffic.
Renewed interest in mining at South Crofty, at Pool, adds heavy plant and haulage to that picture. The A30 runs along the northern side with junctions at Treswithian and Tolvaddon, giving direct access for sweepers and site lorries alike. Supermarkets, a retail park and college buildings in the corridor provide regular car park and estate road work for facilities managers.
Coverage around Camborne, Pool and Tuckingmill
Camborne enquiries take in Tuckingmill, Pool, Roskear, Beacon, Troon and Treswithian, and normally extend to Hayle, Praze-an-Beeble and Portreath. Redruth is covered by the same operators, so jobs spread along the A3047 can be dealt with in one visit. West Cornwall has fewer vehicles than larger regions, and availability is confirmed for each date.
