Quick Facts

History & Context

Gwithian is in the civil parish of Gwinear-Gwithian Cornwall is known throughout the world for its rugged scenery, its ancient history, its beautiful beaches but perhaps more than anything else its industrial history which has shaped the landscape, the people and the way in which its expatriates have won minerals in many other continents. It is therefore entirely appropriate that the oldest industrial preservation organisation in the world, The Cornish Engines Preservation Society, was founded in Cornwall and saved many significant mining remains at a time when most people saw nothing of interest in the preservation of such relics. These sites were accepted by the National Trust in the 1960's.
