NEWS?that the sale of land at the Prince of Wales and Trewarmett quarries near Tintagel has been postponed has been welcomed by North Cornwall Liberal Democrat MP?Dan Rogerson. Mr Rogerson had asked the Duchy of Cornwall to halt the sale to give the local community a chance to discuss options for the future of the land and the historic engine house. He said: "Of course, it is up to the Duchy to manage their land and assets, but given the interest of this site and of the engine house to local people I am delighted that they have agreed to a short pause in the sale of the land. "I have spoken with the Duchy of Cornwall and will now be contacting local residents who have raised their concerns with me, so that we can use this pause to discuss how the local community and the Prince of Wales Engine House Society can be involved in the future of the site." For the full report, and a round-up of the area news and sport, see this week's edition of the Post.

Outside the last engine house in North Cornwall, are three members of the original Prince of Wales Engine House Society — David Cook, Alan Sargeant, Mavis Lugg and Sally Holden. Sally’s father and mother donated some of the slates that were used to repair the building when it was restored. Picture: David Flower
