Wheal Coates Tin Mine

Outbuildings - no idea what their purpose was.
But continually astonished by the fact that tin miners descended 100s of feet and then went 100s of feet out to sea and under the sea, to mine tin. I can't get my head around it.

The thought of being in a mine under the sea gives me claustrophobia! Same as being in an undersea road tunnel...
