Mines - The Geology and History of British Mines
 

This photo album offers a visual journey into the hidden world beneath the British Isles, where geology and history intertwine. From ancient tin and copper workings in Cornwall to the deep slate caverns of Wales and the intricate lead mines of the Peak District, each image captures the raw beauty, textures, and structures shaped by both nature and human hands.
 

Through striking photography, this collection reveals mineral formations, abandoned tools, timber supports, and the silent architecture of centuries-old mining activity. It’s not just a study of rocks and tunnels—it’s a tribute to the labour, ingenuity, and legacy of those who carved out lives in the darkness below.
