Down in the mine
It seems the entire Geevor area (and probably much of Cornwall) is a rabbit warren of old mines and tunnels. Apparently, when the "new" (now closed) mine was operating, the miners found an older and previously unrecorded mine from pre-industrial days. This is now, at least in part, open to visitors who are given covering jackets and helmets for their tour. It does bring a stark realisation of the dangers and hardships faced by the miners, particularly in the early days, when even lifting out diggings was done with a bucket such as this. Here's a musical link. More images in PiPs.
