Killifreth mine

The ruins of the pumping engine house. The height of tin mining in Cornwall was between approx 1750 and 1870. Cheaper tin from South east Asia killed off this industry more or less permanently.

This is fantastic picture, Andy. I haven't actually seen an old tin mine in person - it's very dramatic isn't it?
