Bodmin, Cornwall - Falling Down the Rabbit Hole Bodmin Town, 15k population, a former mining town with it's origins steeped in Saints and Pilgrimages, is now like many other Cornish towns, in a state of decline. Turkish barbers, white flight, and concerns of a growing fentanyl problem dot the... new landscape, but a ray of light shining through was The Mad Hatter's Tea Rooms, a genuinely wonderful coffee shop and tourist attraction, that comes highly highly recommended.

Yes like the video. Bigger than I remember. How can Bodmin need 7 barbers. Like you say people smuggling or money laundering operations probably.

It is exactly that, money laundering, drugs, prostitution, people etc.

If there is white flight from somewhere like Bodmin then we know the UK is now finished

@Keep_Britain It’s a shithole, mirrored almost entirely by St Austell. Us Cornish being diluted

@Keep_Britain I am sorry my friend, trying to highlight this. Cornwall is England's last bastion.

It is true. I have worked there for three years. It's changing rapidly. Many non-nationals are now moving in. I have known a lot of people there waiting for housing. Funny that. No one is ever in the barbers and i drive past a dozen times a day!

The Beast of Bodmin used to protect the town from Outlanders.

Thanks Darren for another interesting and informative video. Certainly shows the reality of how rundown and deprived these “quaint” Cornish towns are. Carry on the good work, you are compiling a very useful and factual archive for future reference about this neglected county.

That is the plan mate.

I've dm'd you mate
