CORNISH IDENTITY: 'rests on three foundations. First, there’s a package of behaviours, attitudes and attributes associated with being "Cornish". Second, there’s the Cornish language. Third, there’s our history. Not the past, which doesn’t change. But the stories told about that past, which do. In recent years, some have been become more forthright in arguing that the history of the Cornish is a history of struggle against external power.' ✫ღ⊰n

'TOWSER' | Cornwall: Cornish dialect for a bal maiden's apron. 'What these women wore was quite distinctive, instead of a long dress, they wore calf length skirts which made it easier for them to work and some women, probably the younger girls liked to wear petticoats underneath, topped with a blouse and an apron. These women wore a bonnet, called a Gook, which protected them from both the rain and the sun, and to protect their feet they wore strong wooden soled boots.' ✫ღ⊰n Calf Length Skirts, Aprons Vintage, Women In History, Petticoat, Maiden, Time Travel

Bal maidens, 1890s - A bal maiden, from the Cornish language bal, a mine and the English maiden, a young or unmarried woman, was a female manual labourer working in the mining industries of Cornwall and the bordering areas of western Devon, at the south-western extremity of Great Britain.[a] The term has been in use since at least the early 18th century.[b] At least 55,000 women and girls worked as bal maidens, and the actual number is likely to have been much higher.

BAL MAIDENS (1905): and miners at an unspecified Cornish mine. 'The women’s jobs were repetitive, often dirty and wet, their hours long. Breaking up the ore for smelting was exhausting work, using heavy hammers to smash the stone into small pieces, often with little shelter from the weather. Compared with the men, wages were poor, around 4d (2p) per day for younger girls, rising to perhaps 1 shilling (5p), and if the women couldn’t work they weren’t paid.'
