Flower Delivery to Tuckingmill with Clare Florist

The village of Tuckingmill is located in Cornwall, England. It is also a civil parish which was formed in 1845 after it was separated from the parish of Illogan and the parish of Camborne. Tuckingmill makes up 1,300 acres of land and contains a lot of old industrial structures such as the Tucking Mill and the Bickford Fuse Factory. The Tucking Mill was a fulling mill which is a place where wool clothing gets made and spun. Records show that there have been fulling mills in Tuckingmill as long ago as the year 1250.  As for the Bickford Fuse Factory, this was the location where William Buckford invented the very first safety fuse. Buckford lived and worked in the village up until his death. He is the most notable person to ever live in Tuckingmill.

One of the most notable structures in Tuckingmill is the All Saints parish church. It was constructed between 1843 and 1844 and it features the Norman Revival architecture style. John Hayward of Exeter was the chief architect on the church’s construction. Between 1878 and 1879, the church underwent renovations which included the chancel being tiled and raised, window replacement, wall repairs, and seat replacement.

Tuckingmill was very popular in the mining industry because it featured big mines like the Dolcoath Mine and the South Crofty Mine, which was the last European mine to exist and was once considered the deepest mine out of any other mine in the world. The South Crofty Mine eventually closed down in 1998. This was a huge devastation to this once industrialized village filled with barren landscapes filled with mines and miners’ cottages. Thousands of miners lost their jobs and forced many to flee to other towns and cities for work.

Recently, a land development company named Porthia purchased a large portion of the central region of Tuckingmill. This is the area that contains the older structures like the Fuseworks building and the South Crofty mines. The plan is to rebuild this area into a “New Tuckingmill” with more than 400 newly constructed homes.
