Cornish Tin Mines greeting cards - beautifully printed and designed to make an impression.
A clear view of South Wheal Frances Mine with its prominent chimney gives this scene a strong and engaging presence on a greeting card. The balanced composition and historic subject make it suitable for a wide range of occasions.
South Wheal Frances is a former copper and tin mine on the Great Flat Lode, just south of Camborne, Cornwall, and was the largest of the four setts that eventually amalgamated under the umbrella of Basset Mines Ltd.
Mining began in the local area in the early 1720s and by the early 20th century, several thousand men, women, bal maidens and children worked in the mine, however a slump in tin prices during World War I led to the mine's closure in 1918. Once part of a network of mines that shaped the Cornish landscape and economy, the remaining engine houses and chimneys now stand as reminders of 19th-century mining activity. These structures were built to house steam engines used for pumping water and raising ore from deep underground.
A stone engine house stands prominently with a tall chimney rising above it, framed against a bright sky. A narrow path leads directly toward the building, drawing the eye into the scene. The surrounding vegetation softens the industrial structure, while the light highlights the texture of the stonework and the clean lines of the composition.

The attention to detail is above expectations. I'm thrilled with what Carol has done, I will be purchasing again. Thank you
Thank you so very much the mugs are really lovely and you have kept me informed how my order was doing right up to the delivery, your service is 1st class and I will be doing business with you again.
Absolutely wonderful photo! I bought it for my grandson but my daughter loved it so much that we decided it would be a waste to put it on his bedroom wall. The quality and detail demands a place where everyone can see it. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. Thank you for the quick delivery too!
Thrilled to bits with the picture , better than expected
Loved this image of our wedding day and was appropriate for our anniversary too...
Brilliant customer service from the start with an easy website to navigate. Unfortunately when my order arrived the print was damaged, contacted Carol who sent another out for me straight away and kept me updated along the way. Absolutely fantastic service. Thank you.
