Description
Brooding skies above the Crib Hut near James Shaft which was at the heart of the Tywarnehayle mining area. Surrounded by heather and gorse on the hill above Porthtowan on the north coast of Cornwall it is so peaceful now but in 1861 this would have been a very noisy place to grab a break from the tunnels.
The shaft was capped when it was returned to the Duchy by the Royal School of Mines in London.
