Cornish tin mines- Carn Galver
The Cornish landscape is peppered with the remnants of tin mines. At one time the main industry in this county. They represent a era when many risked their lives to tunnel underground and under the sea to extract tin . The history reflects a time where health and safety of workers were not considered and many lost their lives , working in appalling conditions.
Looking down over the gorse and across to the Atlantic , the view is stunning. The patchwork of fields, the white specks of sheep in the distance and the two tin mines give such a strong sense of time and place. Cornwall is a beautiful county.
