Carrick: National Trust Celebrates 50 Years at Chapel PorthOn Sunday 2 July, the National Trust will mark 50 years of the charity's protection of Chapel Porth, near St Agnes with an event celebrating the 1950s including live music, vintage cars and period clothes. From 12pm-4pm vintage cars and motorcycles will be displayed along the sea front at Chapel Porth. Prizes will be awarded for the 'Best Vehicles' and 'Best Period Costume'. All participants wearing period clothing or with a vintage vehicle will be able to enjoy an ice-cream at 1956 prices. Listen to an afternoon of live music from "The Swing Bings" and inspired by a flavour of the past, share you memories of this unique area. A heritage photographic display will chart the changes this coastal valley has experienced over the last century. The National Trust protects 145.2ha (359 acres) of the historic mining landscape around Chapel Porth, which forms part of the proposed World Heritage Site designation for Cornish Mining. The land was bought by the Trust in 1956 with a bequest from Miss Hetty Owen, and is maintained by a team of National Trust staff and volunteers. Chris Ryan, the National Trust event organiser says: 'We really wanted to put on an event to mark the occasion that everyone could enjoy and a celebration of the 1950s seemed very appropriate. As you look up from the beach, you'll be transported back to 1956 - it's going to be a great day out for all the family. ' |
