Featured page - This is either an older web page that we think is worth high-lighting or sometimes a recent page that we are proud of.  Normally, we highlight something of historical relevance regarding the pasty. This week we highlight "The Mexico Connection" for the simple reason that we visited Wheal Mexico Mine recently during a visit to Geevor Mine and have added six new photographs on the page. We are also highlighting "Hayle - pasty capital of the world" for the good reason that Hampson's of Hayle now have their own web site, Hampsons of Hayle, and proper good 'ee is, too!
