Description

A typical Cornish mine scene of the 1880s. Pictured here is Carn Galver Mine, situated between Rosemergy and Porthmeor on the Land's End-to-St Ives coastal road. Remains of these buildings can still be seen near the Count House (administrative office) which stands a little to seaward and is still in use as a climbing enthusiasts' centre.
