    Thanks. The knockers (also known as knackers and buccas) are the mining counterparts of the fairies/elves aboveground - which the Cornish call piskies (among other things). Because the traditional mine was an all-male environment, the knockers were thought of as being an all-male troupe of supernatural beings.
