1 .The port of Manham is located in beautiful and peaceful countryside, on a bend in the great River Avon, and developed here because it's the highest navigable point of the Avon boats can go no higher up this river and proved a handy place to load and unload cargo to and from the sea, which is over 23 miles away.

Manham港位于美丽宁静的乡村，在伟大的埃文河河弯，并在这里发展，因为它是埃文河最高的可航行的点--船已经无法再达到更高的点-也证明了这是一个很便利的可以从海洋里装货和卸货的地方，这里也超过了23英里远。

2 .A small port was already established here when, about 900 years ago, tin was discovered nearby, though it wasn't until the Industrial Revolution, when a tremendous need for metals of all kinds developed, that Manham expanded to become one of the busiest ports in the country.

一个小港口已经在大约900年前在这里建立，也在附近发现了锡，虽然直到工业革命，就是当一个巨大的对各种金属的需求发展时，Manham扩大到成为全国最繁忙的港口。

1 .In the early days, the ores had been smelted or processed in the same area they were mined.

早期的时候，矿石在他们被开采的相同区域被冶炼或加工。

2 .But, as demand grew, the smelting process required huge factory furnaces or fires to melt the metal from the rock and there was not enough coal in the local area, so the rocks containing minerals had to be shipped long distances.

但是，随着需求的增长，冶炼过程需要巨大的工厂熔炉或者用火去熔化从岩石里得到的金属，并且当地没有足够的煤，因此，含有矿物的岩石必须要经历一个长距离的运输。

1 .Sadly, in the twentieth century, the great port of Manham declined, and thousands of workers were forced to emigrate out of the area.

但是，Manham信托成立了，来保护此区域的历史资源。

4 .It organised scores of local volunteers to remove undergrowth to find the original outlines of the installations.
