Botallack Mine - Cornwall - created by the Industrial Revolution that shaped Cornwall. Botallack stands above the Atlantic on Cape Cornwall and its old workings are the most recognised symbol of Cornwall's proud mining heritage. Botallack continued successfully as a mine until the 1870s until closure in 1895. Despite sporadic reopenings, Botallack finally closed in February 1914 during the mining depression and, despite efforts to investigate new workings, it never reopened. Visitors today can still see the remains of the engine houses precariously clinging to a promontory above the sea. 固opFoto *** Local Caption ***
