Botallack Mines ( Explored )

            Rain is imiment I’ve already had one down pour  and the second is on it’s way, the weather is very unsettled this morning,  but I have decided to wait and see how it pans out, 

Below are a few facts which are hard to believe, the conditions must have been atrocious, back in the day with the lack of technology that they had I don’t think I would have wanted to be working beneath the sea bed.
Botallack mine was built and worked from a period of 1815-1914 it is a submarine mine with tunnels extending under the sea, in places for half a mile. Over its recorded lifetime the mine produced around 14,500 tonnes of tin, 20,000 tonnes of copper, and 1,500 tonnes of arsenic. An estimated 1.5 million tonnes of waste would have been dug up with the minerals.
