History & Context

South Crofty Mine The flow of Cornish tin ore has dwindled over the past 100 years and now the future of the only indigenous strategic tin supply in Europe hangs by the slender cable at South Crofty mine. The metal is very precious to anyone who has studied the world's mining history or wants a little part of Cornwall which is pure and beautiful forever. Very few people know what tin looks like or what are its properties. Of course, we all know of canned goods and the protection from corrosion afforded to the steel by a thin layer of tin. By itself tin has a life and beauty of its own.
