Miners at Home
Mining was not just a job; it was a way of life.
Where the mine company owned the housing, the mine dominated daily life. Cornish mining transformed both the region’s landscape and its society. It helped to create a distinctive culture. By the mid-nineteenth century, Cornwall had created a proud and assertive regional identity, associated most closely with the mining districts.

Went along with the school today, I've lived down here for most of my life but I'd never been to Geevor before. It was so interesting, such great guides, kids and adults were totally fascinated ALL day. Thanks so much to all who are involved, I'll be taking the rest of the family down ASAP.
