This week's collection of Step Back in Time features a number of postcards of Cornwall throughout the years.
We see a number of villages snapped way back when in this week's edition with Trenear near Wendron, St Keverne from the church tower and a blacksmiths shop in St Martin in Meneage to name a few.
A photo of of the cliffs shows an engine house at Rinsey, near Ashton. The engine house is of the old Wheal Prosper Mine, and it has been renovated by the National Trust.
The monument includes the Wheal Prosper pumping engine house south of Rinsey. Wheal Prosper was a short-lived tin and copper mine that was in operation between 1860 and 1866 on the cliffs above Porthcew.
This week's collection has been contributed by the Museum of Cornish Life in Helston.
