Mining has been the most important industry in large parts of
Cornwall for hundreds of years. This volume contains many
photographs of mines both large and small with an emphasis on
hitherto unpublished scenes of the latter. Within the pages of
Mining in Cornwall - Volume Four: Hayle to Kerrier Carrick are
images of the mines in the area and the men and women who worked
them. Mining ore, whether of tin, copper, lead or silver, to name
only a few, once sustained a large number of ancillart industries
such as engineering and railways. At the present time no mining is
taking place in the Duchcy. All that remains is taking place to
remind us of this once thriving scene ate the abandoned engine
houses, mine burrows, names on maps and photographs such as these.
Mining in Cornwall: Volume Four continues the popular series and
should be of interest to both professional and amatuer industrial
archaeologists as well as local people. The author is drawing upon
the largest collection of Cornish mining photographs in the world.
