Description
As I was sitting on the cliffs above the sea at Botallack on the north coast of Cornwall my mind turned to all those brave miners who risked their lives between 1815 and 1914 in the tunnels that went out under the Atlantic Ocean here, for over a mile in places.
Storm Ciara was approaching and the sound of the waves hitting the cliffs was amazing but, if I had been underground it might not have been so exciting.
The Crowns Engine Houses are symbolic not only of the decline of the Cornish mining industry but the daring of the adventurers and the courage of Cornish miners who went deep underground.
