Wheal Drea Mine, Cornwall, UK.
On January 10th 1893 miners working underground at 65 fathoms below the sea accidentally broke though to the abandoned neigbouring mine workings of Wheal Drea. This resulted in the water rushing in and 19 men and a boy drowning.
It is said the rush of water was preceded by a strong gust of air which blew out all the lights plunging the miners into darkness.
No bodies were ever recovered and the mine never reopened.
We stayed 10 minutes walk from the mine I went down to the mine every evening and spent a little time sitting on the wall thinking about the men and boy below.

A very nice picture, and sad story.
Of course in those days such accidents were so common .... despite a whole list of 'Mines Acts'
Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
