History of Liskeard

When Wilkie Collins wrote of his visit to the town in his Rambles Beyond Railways he had a low opinion of it: “that abomination of desolation, a large agricultural country town”. The town went through a period of economic prosperity during the pre-20th century boom in tin mining, becoming a key centre in the industry as a location for a stannary and coinage.
