The weather was too good to stay indoors so we went out doors!
to Helston which is beyond our patch so we were exploring pastures new. It is about 20 miles from home and in a direction we don't often go.
We parked the car and walked and very quickly in front of us was this ruined mine head. It is the ruins of Castle Wray also known as Wheal Pool and was a silver/lead mine belonging to Helston Valley mine company in times long past.
This is the end wall of the engine house.
Engine house from the other side stains of smoke still very obvious.
Imagine the miners.The boggy valley where there is a mineral track lost somewhere, where trucks used to carry the ore.
October 12th - 19 degrees centigrade - gorgeous -global warming? I think so, It is all so very wrong. A great walk but what is going on with our planet?
This is Cober Valley.
