I don't know the name of this tin mine. I was sent on an unexpected detour by roadworks and came across quite a number of old mining structures that I knew were there but hadn't visited for about 25 years. I'll try and find out. I have a few more tin mine ruin shots to post in the fullness of time! Later add on. I think many of the mine buildings hereabouts fall under the name of Wheal Busy. But I could be wrong.,

A pleasing 'shell' of a church. The roof fell in in the 1950s but the building had been dangerous and de-commissioned long before then. The new church over the road also seems to be very old but I guess it was built towards the end of the 19th century. This one was built in the 1820s but in inferior materials and it became unusable very quickly! Now an open air exhibition centre. An expansive graveyard surrounds it - it seems to have been the burial ground of choice for many of the mining villages near here, at least for the minority non- Methodists! Never really got into Jeff Beck - may he rest in peace - but I thought this was rather good so here it is! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmnQd8UVsRY
