About this Assembly
The Community Assembly of Gunnislake (Cornish: Dowrgonna) is located in a large village in east Cornwall which is part of the Kernow Territory. It is situated in the Tamar Valley approximately ten miles (16 km) north of Plymouth and close to the border with Devon.
The village has a history of mining although this industry is no longer active in the area. During the mining boom in Victorian times more than 7000 people were employed in the mines of the Tamar Valley. During this period Gunnislake was held in equal standing amongst the richest mining areas in Europe.
The famous painting by Turner 'Crossing the Brook' exhibited in 1815 is in fact a view of Newbridge. Newbridge was built c. 1520: it is 182 feet long and has seven arches. It is built of large regular granite blocks and is considered to be the best of the Cornish granite bridges.
