Description
Cornwall in south west England was home to one of Europe's largest mining industries in the 19th century; tin was a very important mineral. The remains of mine workings still dot the countryside; these are the ruins of the Prince of Wales engine house near Minions on Bodmin Moor, once part of the Phoenix United Mine.
