Talk:Mullion

Muntin
Please see my revisions to the term "muntin," because the two serve the same purpose: to clarify the terms "mullion" and "muntin." A muntin can be called a "mullion," but doing so leads to confusion. A "muntin," (or "glazing bar" in the UK), on the other hand, always refers to a narrow strip of wood or metal that makes a "true divided light" widow sash, casement or glazed door. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barrister noir (talk • contribs) 30 November 2006

Removed this section:
I removed the following text from the article because it doesn't fit. If anyone would like to integrate it into Mullion, Cornwall it's included here, but I think the relevant parts are already there.

Mullion is the largest village on the Lizard Peninsular in Cornwall and has shops, inns, cafes and restaurants, craft shops and art galleries. In the centre of the village, the 15th century church of St Mellanus is renowned for its richly-carved oak bench-ends depicting biblical scenes, including that of Jonah and the Whale.

Mullion Cove has a pretty working harbour, protected from the winter gales that rage across Mount's Bay by two stout sea walls. The harbour was completed in 1895 and financed by Lord Robartes of Lanhydrock as a recompense to the fishermen for several disastrous pilchard seasons. You can still see the old pilchard cellar and net store. There are plenty of smuggling tales too. In 1801, the King's Pardon was offered to any smuggler giving information on the Mullion musket men involved in a gunfight with the crew of HM Gun Vessel Hecate.

The cove had a lifeboat station from 1867 -1909, and with good reason: in the six years up to 1873 there were nine wrecks under Mullion cliffs along a mile-and-a-half stretch of coastline. Inland are the remains of Wheal Unity copper mine, which operated from the early 18th century to 1919. A large copper boulder from the mine is in the Natural History Museum, London.

Nearby Poldhu Cove is an ideal and easily accessible family beach. In December 1901, on the cliffs above Poldhu, Guglielmo Marconi conducted his famous experiment in trans-Atlantic radio communications. The beach at Polurrian, popular with surfers, is approached by an attractive walk along the cliffs or through a valley, and is well worth the effort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.216.173 (talk) 08:52, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
