Botallack Mines - Cornwall
Taken on a recent jaunt to Cornwall. Botallack Mine was created by the Industrial Revolution that shaped Cornwall.
There is evidence of tin mining in this area from the 17th Century and possibly earlier.
Botallack stands defiant above the Atlantic on Cape Cornwall, and its old workings are the most recognised symbol of Cornwall's proud mining heritage.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my photostream, favourites and comments are always welcome and appreciated.
I have also just started a facebook page so any views and likes will be gratefully received.
