Informations supplémentaires

Mining in Cornwall can be traced back to the Bronze age circa 2150BC and tin was one of the first metals to have been exploited in the U.K. Cornish mining ended in 1998 with the closure of the South Crofty mine. Cornwall and Devon provided most of the United Kingdom's tin, copper and arsenic until the 20th century.Disused and abandoned mine workings are a distinguishing feature of the Cornish landscape.The abandoned chimneys and buildings are landmarks and of interest to walkers on countryside and coastal rambles.Many tin lodes are sited on cliffs and are part of the Cornish landscape and a tourist heritage attraction. These abandoned mine buildings are on the site of the arsenic production labyrinth near the coastal Crown Engine houses and the old Botallack mine.
