These three building shots all have something in common...

They are all in a better state of repair than Jonathans bungalow at the moment :(

Perched precariously on the cliffs to the east of Trewavas Head are the two engine houses that form the remains of Wheal Trewavas mine. The mine worked four copper lodes which ran in a south easterly direction under the sea bed. These were the North Lode; Sowan Way Lode; Trewavas South (Old) Lode and Nimble Cutter Lode. There was also a tin lode which ran across the other lodes in an east to west direction.

I cropped this considerably to cut of most signs of civilisation but think 🤔 I prefer the original tbh…..

 

Please count as a set… we have hardly been home because of that leak. Had industrial dehumidifier in there that has achieved nothing. This shot was taken on a very hot day yet the sky even with those few clouds was dire. I thought I would die on the relatively short walk to here so Jonathan suggested we go back on a crisper looking day.. my reply wasn’t in the affirmative…

I don’t suppose he meant to kill me off 🤔
