Dolcoath mine, Camborne, 1831

This image comes from the following book:

BUCKLEY, J A - "Cornish Mining - at Surface", Tor Mark Press, Penryn, 1990, ISBN 0 85025 325 X, page 5. The caption there is as follows:

"Dolcoath was among the greatest of all copper mines in the late eighteenth century. Although declining as a copper mine at the time of this engraving by T Allom (1831) it was to rise again as the greatest tin mine ever seen in Cornwall. In sheer size, depth, output and profits Dolcoath stood head and shoulders above all other Cornish tin producers. Note the bal-maids spalling and cobbing the copper ore, the kibbles or baskets of ore being landed, and the enormous thickness of the rope wound round the capstan in the foreground."
