This is the best advertising/marketing campaign I've seen in years. Brunel's glorious 1854 railway terminus is reward enough for any traveller, but then to see this ad campaign - it stopped me in my tracks.
The campaign celebrates the 13 July 2006 World Heritage Site award designation to the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape. Paddington station was chosen as it is the London terminus for trains to/ from Cornwall. The campaign is stretched along platform 8 on twelve massive piers. The print and production quality is superb; photographs stunning; graphics and composition excellent; and brevity of text perfect (I mean "Tin Did, Because Tin Can" - how brilliant is that?!).
Each time I go through Paddington (every 10 days or so) I make sure I see these. I'm not Cornish but the text and images create a surge of pride for the legacy of the miners and their industry. For an ad campaign to create that type of response within the viewer is rather remarkable I think. It's been 8 years since my last visit to Cornwall which is a shame because it is a remarkable landscape.
The Paddington campaign launched 2 November 2006. The Credits pier lists the following: Absolute Design; August One; Barry Gamble; Consumer Connection: Excessive Energy Communication; Fifteen Cornwall; First Great Western; Hard Working Words; N3 Display Graphics; Nector Events & Publicity; Nework Rail.

NASA Kennedy Space Center Director Bob Cabana welcomes participants to the agency's 8th Annual Robotic Mining Competition at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. More than 40 student teams from colleges and universities around the U.S. will use their mining robots to dig in a supersized sandbox filled with BP-1, or simulated Martian soil, and participate in other competition requirements. The Robotic Mining Competition is a NASA Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate project designed to encourage students in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM fields. The project provides a competitive environment to foster innovative ideas and solutions that could be used on NASA's Journey to Mars. Photo credit: NASA/Leif Heimbold
Cornwall - St Agnes.
Mining.
Cornwall, along with its neighbouring county of Devon, was an important source of tin for Europe and the Mediterranean throughout ancient times, but began dominating the market during late Roman times in the 3rd century AD with the exhaustion of many Spanish tin mines. Cornwall maintained its importance as a source of tin throughout medieval times and into the modern period.
At their height about 100 mines employed 1000 miners. Mining came to an end in the 1920s and many of these mines are still on view for tourists. United Hills mine produced 86,500 tons of copper ore, 1826ā1906; and Wheal Towan 54,610 tons, 1800-31. Lesser quantities of black tin were produced from these mines: West Wheal Kitty 10,070 tons (1881ā1915); Wheal Kitty 9,510 tons (1853ā1918); Polberro 4,300 tons (1837ā95); Penhalls 3,610 tons (1834ā96); and Blue Hills 2,120 tons (1858ā97). Much of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape, a World Heritage Site, is in the parish. Tin production is still worked at the Blue Hills Tin Streams.
Wheal Coates was the site of medieval mining between 1066 and 1540, and it was a modern mining producer from 1802 and into the 20th century. The visible remains of Wheal Coates are the engine houses built in the 1870s to crush ore, run a Calciner, or pump water. The sites, owned by the National Trust, include the Whim Engine House, Towanroath Pumping Engine House and the Calciner. Before that the Jericho valley, where Blue Hills Tin Streams operated, had supported mining operations for centuries. At Chapel Coombe a set of old Cornish stamps has been re-erected by the Trevithick Society.

Audrey Headframe Park
Jerome, Arizona
Largest wooden headframe still standing in Arizona, it was completed in 1918 to haul ore up from the mine. Shaft is 1900 feet deep, concrete lined with cross tunnels every 100 feet to Edith shaft. Edith shaft headframe was completed in 1915 to haul men and supplies. A wooden structure, it was torn down in 1981 and replaced with the steel version you see today, 260' to NW.
Between 1915 and 1938 almost 4 million tons of ore was extracted from the mine, producing 397,000 tons of Copper, 221 tons of silver and 5.5 tons of gold. Ore was brought to the surface then transported by tram and burro train, to the railhead in the valley. Later, ore was taken out underground through the Josephine tunnel, which was 1300 feet down and 2.5 miles long.

A map of Lake Township in Hastings County showcasing the mining industry in Eastern Ontario. Concessions and lots are numbered. Plan number E. O. 57 from the Ontario Department of Mines, issued May 6, 1954. Scale: 1:30,000.
This tawny mining bee is photographed on morrello cherry blossom in our garden. Interestyingly, within a few feet, there is an ornamental flowering cherry tree which the tawny mining bee totally ignored. Honey bees were on the ornamental cherry blossom in their dozens, but ignored the morrello cherry blossom, which I thought was strange.
The tawny mining bee, Andrena fulva, is a European species of the sand bee (Andrena) genus. The males are 10ā12 mm (0.4ā0.5 in) and the females 8ā10 mm (0.3ā0.4 in) long. It is covered with hair: fox-red on its back and black on its underside.
The tawny mining bee lives in Europe, ranging from the Balkans to southern Scandinavia and the United Kingdom. It lives in light woodlands and dry grasslands, and also in parks and gardens. It is widely distributed but has a low population density. The Tawny mining bee flies from March until May. It prefers to fly in a multitude to different nectar-bearing plants, particularly currants and gooseberries. It lives in a nest in the ground, and occasionally in larger colonies.
It mates in spring, after which the male dies and the female starts to build a nest. Sometimes more than a hundred females build nests in a few square metres but the tawny mining bee normally does not create a colony: each female has her own nest. The tawny mining bee is therefore classified amongst solitary and communal bees.
The nest is a vertical shaft 200ā300 mm (8ā12 in), with several brood cells branching off it. The female fills these cells with a mixture of nectar and pollen, on which she lays one egg in each cell. The larva hatches within a few days, grows quickly and pupates within a few weeks. The adults emerge in spring after hibernation.

4. Mining Sculpture ā Jake Harvey 1989.
Commemorates the āSpirit of Communityā. Born of centuries of abject poverty, suffering, sorrow and deprivation the strong community spirit sustained mining families. Community spirit spurred the villagers to fight to have their condemned village redeveloped as a modern village preserving its identity and its traditions of sharing and caring for one another.
