Wheal Coates could be described as the most picturesque, disused mine workings in Cornwall.
With the stunning view and well preserved structures. It is perhaps thanks to the National Trust who maintain this site/location that we and future generations get the benefit of realising all about our forefathers. To consider all of the hard work they did for " a crust of bread"..
To work a mine such as this, working in all weathers and digging mine shaft deep into the earth, following the veins of ore, even well out under the sea. Then to process the ore to get the refined minerals certainly paints a picture in my mind, amazing.
