"I went a mile farther on the hills, and so came where they were digging in the tin mines.There were at least twenty mines all in sight, which employ a great many people at work almost night and day, but constantly all and every day, including the Lords Day, which they are forced to prevent their mines being overflowed with water".
(Celia Fiennes)
"If the tin mines shut, it will be the end of places like St Just and Pendeen because they will become ghost towns".
(D Alford)
