| This iconic image of the ruins of a Tin Mine ventilation shaft and pump engine house reflects the end of the tin mining industry on the coast of Cornwall where men and women risked their lives to dig under the sea for tin and copper. This is reflected in the TV series `Poldark`. Cornish tin has been sought after as far back as 1,500 BC by Phoenician traders from Byblos and Sidon in what is now Lebanon. |
