context_page_description: Praze an Beeble, sometimes shortened to Praze, is a village in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It lies between the nearby towns of Camborne and Helston in the civil parish of Crowan.
  The name Praze an Beeble was first recorded in 1697 and means the meadow of the pipe/conduit. The pipe can still be seen in the well at SW 6385 3571 opposite the entrance to medical centre. The village is not named after the watercourse through the village, which is called the Praze Stream, and was never historically known as the Beeble. Indeed, the upper part of it was the "Cargenwyn Stream" according to the Camborne Water Co. in 1866. It eventually joins the Red River north of Nancemellin near Gwithian. The Red River in Cornish is Dowr Koner.
  Early development was focussed around the cross-roads and there were an inn, smithy and two coaching houses. The smithy, two cottages and the inn all survive and are Grade II listed The settlement appears to have developed as planned, and landlord controlled, estate village for Clowance, to supply services and housing for the mining industry in the area and also to provide housing for agricultural workers.
context_section_description: As of September 2004, a good number of facilities (for a village of its size in the region) remained, including a fish and chip shop, bakery, village shop & Post Office, St Aubyn's Arms public house, and medical practice. The local school is located just outside the village to the east, although it is associated by name with the neighbouring village Crowan.
  From 1887 to 1962 the village had its own railway station on the Helston Railway.
  Recent developments in the village have all centred on the ongoing works in Fore Street, including plans to alter street furniture and manage traffic, redeveloping the disused police house at the top of Fore Street, updating the cricket field and children's play area. The cricket field is home to Praze Cricket Club.
  The holiday resort of Clowance estate is just outside the village, offering leisure and dining.
