Description
Allen’s Shaft, Botallack on the north coast of Cornwall was installed by neighbouring Geevor mine in 1985. Geevor was closed in the early 1990's.
The Cornish landscape of Botallack is shaped by thousands of years of mining and streaming and the headframe marks the end of this era in Botallack's history, an era which began with small scale smelting hearths such as that buried beneath the grass just a few hundred yards from Allen's Shaft.
