Forty years of Trevithick Day in Camborne
Available for over a year
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'.
