In this video we take a look at the mine workings of Wheal Peevor, which is a disused mine site north of Redruth in Cornwall, UK.
Wheal Peevor dates back to the early 1700s when the area was first worked for copper.
The site would be reached by the great county adit in 1793 which enabled costs to be reduced on pumping and de watering.
The mine would then be operated more economically at depth where it would go on to be worked for both tin and wolfram before finally shutting for good in the early 1900s.
In this video we explore Sir Fredericks pumping shaft which would have originaly reached a depth of 311m.
Sadly the water table is quite high at the moment so there were few workings to be seen. This is a first time explore by us so we were not really sure what we were going to find.
Hopefully you still enjoyed this video and please do not copy anything you have seen in this explore. Mines can be incredibly dangerous places and the idea of this and all my similar videos is to share with you the sights underground without putting yourselves in any danger.
Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe.
If you have not seen them yet there are many other mine exploring videos on my channel.
