   Did Camborne change the world?

   • It’s not every town that can justifiably claim to have changed the world. But Camborne has – and more than once, too.

   When did Camborne become a town?

Baker's Lane was extended and later this became Trelowarren Street, now Camborne's main shopping street. By 1830, the insignificant hamlet had given way to a fast growing town, important due to the tin and copper mines surrounding it.
