In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Caradon like this:
CARADON, a hill and copper-mines in Cornwall; 4 miles N of Liskeard. The hill is 1,208 feet high; and commands a fine view. The mines are at the south foot of the hill, excavated in granite. A mineral railway, called the Liskeard and Caradon railway, 8¾ miles long, opened in 1846, connects them with Liskeard.
Caradon is now part of CORNWALL Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CORNWALL has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Caradon itself, go to Statistics.
