The ruin of disused Weal Coates tin mine at Capel Porth, South Cornwall, UK. Cornwall is littered with the remains of what was once a thriving tin mining industry in the 19th Century. Many mines were sunk close to the sea and remain as an iconic reminder of this industrial past amongst the gorse and heather.
