Pool (Cornish: Poll) is a village in west Cornwall, England. It is bypassed by the A30 road, situated on the A3047 between Camborne and Redruth, between Tuckingmill and Illogan Highway. The village was the site of Cornwall's last fully operational tin mine, South Crofty, which closed in March 1998. Pool was a village in the parish of Illogan and was therefore located in Redruth Rural District 1894-1934 and Camborne-Redruth Urban District 1934-1974. [edit] Research TipsOne of the many maps available on A Vision of Britain through Time is one from the Ordnance Survey Series of 1900 illustrating the parish boundaries of Cornwall at the turn of the 20th century. This map blows up to show all the parishes and many of the small villages and hamlets. The following websites have pages explaining their provisions in WeRelate's Repository Section. Some provide free online databases.
