John Faithfull ππͺπΊπ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώπ§‘βπ»βπΏ@Vibracobra23 I think this is the birthplace of titanium: William Gregor was minister here in 1790 and realised that a black mineral in local steam sand (now known as ilmenite) was something new. π€π
@FaithfullJohn Aye, it is. At the top of the Lizard Peninsula, just south of the Helford River.
C. Anthony Lewis@Vibracobra23 @FaithfullJohn Here's a very poor photo I took in 2014 with my #Fairphone 1 of the plaque commemorating Gregor's discovery.
@morgrugyn @Vibracobra23 I've made that pilgrimage too! π
@FaithfullJohn @Vibracobra23 I think I need to go back and take a better photo!
