Wheal Coates from Tubby's Head ~ for Pam!

Towanroath pumping engine house is seen on the cliff top. Its crucial function was to pump the mine shafts clear of water, night and day. And the Wheal Coates tin mine shafts extended far out below the sea!

A fine picture there Andy'... and good info'..as with all old mines it's amazing what the miners could achieve with picks - shovels.. and other hand tools. Pure graft.
Cheers from Dave.
