Wildlife on the Edge

Saturday, 17 October 2009 20:45

Grey Mining Bee - Andrena cineraria Wildlife On the Edge

The Hard Rock Gallery at Geevor Tin Mine

An exhibition of photographs by David Chapman & Steve Jones celebrating the bio-diversity of the mining landscape of Geevor.

Geevor, set on the cliff tops of the rugged Atlantic coast of Penwith in West Cornwall, was one of the last working tin mines in the county. In the mid 1980’s the price of tin collapsed to half the amount needed to break even, with the inevitable result that by 1990 the mine closed. In May 1991 the main pumps keeping the mine dry were switched off and the shafts slowly flooded up to sea level.
