A commemorative plaque is inlaid in a wall.[1] It is popular at Rugby matches and Cornish gatherings all around the world. Camborne Hill itself runs from Tehidy Road Post Office up Fore Street to the corner of HSBC with Commercial Street. Camborne Hill is not Beacon Hill which runs from the library to Beacon as is commonly misinterpreted. The tune can be traced back to The Diggers' Song of 1649. But the use of the words "Coming Down" more obviously links it to song Jack Hall of 1707.[2] On 11 September 2001, Rick Rescorla, a chief security officer at the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York, originally from Hayle and a rugby man, sang Cornish rugby songs on his megaphone to keep morale high as he was evacuating over 2,000 employees of Morgan Stanley from the WTC's Second Tower. Survivors have said to particularly remember him singing Camborne Hill. Rescorla was last seen alive on the 10th floor shortly before it collapsed.[3] LyricsGoin' up Camborne Hill, coming downGoin' up Camborne Hill, coming down The horses stood still; The wheels went around; Going up Camborne Hill coming downWhite stockings, white stockings she wore (she wore) White stockings, white stockings she wore White stockings she wore: The same as before; Going up Camborne Hill coming downI knowed her old father old man (old man) I knowed her old father old man I knowed her old man: He blawed in the band; Going up Camborne Hill coming downI 'ad 'er, I 'ad 'er, I did I 'ad 'er, I 'ad 'er, I did I 'ad 'er, I did: It cost me a quid Going up Camborne Hill coming downHe heaved in the coal, in the steam (the steam) He heaved in the coal, in the steam He heaved in the coal: The steam hit the beam Going up Camborne Hill coming downOh Please 'ave a baby by me Oh Please 'ave a baby by me I'm young and I'm strong: Won't take very long Going up Camborne Hill coming downGoin' up Camborne Hill, coming down Goin' up Camborne Hill, coming down The horses stood still; The wheels went around; Going up Camborne Hill coming down References1. ^Traditional Cornish song 2. ^'Folksongs of Britain & Ireland' by Peter Kennedy 3. ^[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/club/3247717/Cornish-rugby-union-celebrate-125-years-of-pride-and-passion-but-are-they-the-lost-tribe-Rugby.html Daily Telegraph, 23 October 2008 – Cornish rugby union celebrate 125 years of pride and passion – but are they the lost tribe?] External links
