BBC NEWS | UK | England | Cornwall | Reopening of tin mine is approved

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/cornwall/5323908.stm


From the page: “Cornwall’s planners have given the go-ahead to a company which wants to re-start tin mining in the county.”

There has been tin mining in Cornwall for over 4,000 years. Fittingly, the last mine to close (South Crofty) is now scheduled to re-open and can be seen above.

to read about the mine, it’s Geology and to view pictures of South Crofty as a working colliery.
