Narrowing down the list of names to include in this section was extremely difficult. After spending a year speaking with many life-long members of the community it became evident that each one had contributed greatly to the community. Their contribution to this project and to the community as a whole will not go unnoticed. I am extremely grateful to these amazing people for sharing their history, stories and memories of the community. Although time does not permit an in-depth biography of each, I would like to thank the following people for consenting to speak with the Cornwall history team and/or for sharing their photographs and documents.
