Lithium Mining for China

South Wheal Francis is a historic tin and copper mine located in Cornwall, notable for its impressive engine house and rich mining heritage. It was a hub of industrial activity during the 19th century and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site dedicated to Cornish mining landscapes.

South Wheal Frances was originally a copper mine in the 1820s, before becoming a tin mine from the 1850s. The mine was active until 1918. The structures are relatively well preserved, including the remains of the engine house which contained an unusual inverted vertical beam engine.

This is an incredible piece of Cornish industrial history. Once a copper and tin mine, the ruined buildings offer a fascinating glimpse into Cornwall's past. Now overtaken by ivy and moss, it is hard to imagine the dangerous and dirty work that would have been happening here. The mines here dug into the Great Flat Lode, now a waymarked cycling trail, named after the mineral rich body of rock south of Carn Brea.

Now a ruin, South Tincroft was originally a copper mine but later moved over to tin. Although this is only a section of the mine, much of it having been demolished and built over, it offers a fascinating insight into the Cornish mining industry.

A former copper and tin mine in the shadow of Carn Brea, there are numerous ruined buildings dotted about here. The engine house and its chimney are particularly worth seeking out, partially obscured by undergrowth as nature is busy reclaiming her landscape.
