Excellent print quality, quick arrival. - Colin G, Worksop
Cornish Tin Mines mounted foamex print - lightweight, contemporary and available up to 30in x 20in.
Rendered in monochrome, South Wheal Frances Mine creates a bold and atmospheric focal point suited to modern or heritage interiors. Ideal for living rooms, studies, or feature spaces, it pairs well with neutral palettes and clean décor, adding depth and visual impact.
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.
Presented in monochrome, the engine house and chimney appear as strong forms against a textured sky. The absence of colour emphasises the rough stone surfaces and architectural details, while surrounding vegetation blends into softer tones. The composition focuses on shape and contrast, giving the scene a timeless quality.

Supplied without a border unless otherwise specified.
Optional lamination is available in satin or gloss to match your selected paper, providing extra protection against moisture and handling. However, lamination is not recommended for Fine Art Matt paper, as it will obscure its authentic texture.
