Forty years of Trevithick Day in Camborne
The 40th Trevithick Day in Camborne has taken place. Richard Trevithick's high pressure steam engine first drove up Camborne Hill on Christmas Eve in 1801.
A replica of his incredible invention has been built in recent years, and is presented by the Trevithick Society in his honour.
James Dundon caught up with Colin French - the custodian of the replica engine, which is called 'The Puffing Devil'.
