Stories of the famous Cornish Knockers, and tales of a ghost said to haunt a particular mine on Cornwall's north coast. We chat to local historian Roger Radcliffe, to get his thoughts on these legends, and the realities of working in a mine.</p><p><br></p><p>You can find the reading list for this series here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/149542206?ref=nav_mybooks</p><p><br></p><p>And the article by Ronald M James here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1499362</p><p><br></p><p><strong>If you're enjoying the series, and would like to support the project further, then check out my patreon page</strong>: https://www.patreon.com/thepiskietrap</p>","author_name":"Keith Wallis"}
