As I have been based in Cornwall for the past two years, I decided to complete a photographic project which looks at the county's heritage. Cornwall is renown for mining and has been listed as one of the world heritage site's. The mining districts have been split into 10 areas and I have managed to photograph 8. As the 34th International Mining Games are being hosted by CSM in Cornwall, I thought I would post my photographs of each area to the run up of the games in March.
Area 1: Nr St.Just, Botallack Mine.
The mines perch beautifully on the cliff face as tunnels run underneath the old engine houses traveling out into the Atlantic for more than a mile, forming a vast industrial complex under the waves.
