Description
As storm Ciara approached the far west of Cornwall, I headed down to Botallack to shoot the Crowns Engine Houses perched perilously on the steep granite cliffs near St Just on the north coast.
The thunderous sounds of the mining machines are long gone but the sound of the wind and the sea was deafening as the waves hit the rocks.
The Crowns were built around 1815 to pump water and allow submarine mining, or mining under the sea bed. Tunnels were cut over a mile out under the sea where there was a rich copper lode, the shafts were sunk to a depth of 350 fathoms. The miners were so brave.
