Kernow Passports have kindly donated these passports with their own interesting history. They were originally produced as mementoes for the Eclipse. There was a total Solar Eclipse in Cornwall on 11th August 1999. This event attracted many vistors to Cornwall and Devon, wanting to view the last total eclipse of the millennium. Each passport has its own number and bears a photograph of Kernow Beanie and a special stamp on the inside page. |

Andy Bennett created this beautiful greetings card featuring a Celtic cross design and a circle of silk printed in the Cornish National Tartan. Two miniature 1/12 scale items of Cornish food are included: a Cornish Pasty and a Stargazy pie, which is a Cornish dish made of baked pilchards covered with a pastry crust. The pilchards are arranged with their tails toward the centre and their heads poking up through the crust around the edge, so that they appear to be gazing skyward. The Cornish Pasty stick pin is from the South Crofty Collection, handcrafted from Cornish Tin, mined from South Crofty Mine before it closed in 1998. The stick pin is no longer produced. A KERNOW button pin badge is also included, featuring the St Piran's flag in its design. |
