Background
History
The village had an agricultural and fishing economy, until the opening of local ironstone workings, in 1848, initiated an industrialisation boom. A railway was built by 1865, and iron smelting began in 1874. A jetty on the coast, built in 1880, allowed seagoing vessels to carry heavy cargoes from the area. Mining continued until 1958, and primary iron production until the 1970s. In 1866, it became a separate civil parish.
