South Crofty

This landmark may soon be wiped off the face of Cornwall. Read below.

Proposals to restart mining work in west Cornwall have been moved forward following a planning decision by councillors.
Members of Cornwall Council have granted permission for major new buildings at South Crofty.
Mine owner Western United Mines (WUM) applied to be allowed to build and install modern facilities. It also wants to extend underground working.

South Crofty was the last working tin mine in Europe when it closed in 1998.

Those of you who live here in Cornwall may want to capture views of South Crofty from many different views. This structure will no doubt be knocked down to make way for a new modern South Crofty Tin Mine.
