My father W.G.L. Tonkin was born in Bodmin in 1904 where he lived
until he went to Exeter University to train as a teacher. He went
to London in 1923, married and had two sons. He taught in Hackney
and later became a headmaster in Westminster. He returned to
Cornwall, which he loved, whenever he could. His father was a well
known ironmonger who owned a shop in Fore Street. Four generations
of Tonkins were ironmongers in Bodmin. After retirement he was
asked by my brother, Gregory, to recount his experience of life in
Bodmin when he was young. A 'Boy in Cornwall' is an account of his
experiences.
