GUEST	Origins: Down to Pomona/Lamorna Song (52* d)	RE: Origins: Down to Pomona/Lamorna Song	09 Apr 23
It does not originate from Cornwall The lyrics to Lamorna started life as a Broadside called “Down to Pomona”. Pomona was a nineteenth Century Zoological park in Manchester with a notoriously expensive admission fee intended to discourage working class people, thus the twist in the last verse. It is thought that it was provided with a tune and a Cornish twist in the early 1900s. by Charles Lee a novelist specialising in stories about Cornwall.. Cornish is a revived language, having become extinct as a living community language in Cornwall at the end of the 18th century.
