The random postcode generator takes producer Polly Weston to a residential area of Camborne, Cornwall. This pioneering town of industry, famous for its tin mines and as the place where the high-pressure steam engine was invented, has fallen on hard times in recent decades. Today, some areas of this postcode are among the most deprived in Cornwall, and Britain as a whole. As lockdown has lifted, the local beaches have flooded with people holidaying from all over the UK, yet it is said that some children in this postcode have never visited the sea before. The nearest beach is three miles away. Is it true?
