Heritage
Cornwall abounds with the heritage of its industrial past. Tin mining has been a part of the Cornish way of life since the Roman occupation two thousand years ago and the north coast particularly so. There are old mineworkings to be seen on Bodmin moor as well as in the area west of St Ives, as pictured here.
On Bodmin moor, relics of the industrial age and the prehistoric age lie side by side. Near the village of Minions, an old abandoned tin mine can be found in proximity to three Bronze Age stone circles, known as the Hurlers.
Visitors to Bodmin Moor may feel an unbridgeable gulf between the unhewn stone circles of a seemimgly alien religion and the technological achievements of today. But others might sense that a direct line exists from the geometric and stone-moving achievements of the Bronze Age, the tin mines and the modern world that we see today.
