Two inclined shafts extend out under the sea from Wheal Edward and the mine was worked for tin, copper, uranium and pitchblende. It closed in 1893 following an accident which claimed the lives of 20 workers.
A CDROM version of the PhotoTour with over 540 high-quality photos of larger size is available from the Association's shop.
