This is me and James doing a podcast style video on our recent trip to Cornwall. We take a look at Abandoned places in Cornwall. So I guess this is our guide to Industrial Cornwall. As well as all the obvious things like visiting the fishing villages in Cornwall like Newquay and Padstow we also visited the Eden project and The lost gardens of Heligan a very beautiful place. However we also wanted to look at the remains of Cornish Industry. This involved finding some old Cornish Tin and Copper mines or at least the mine engine house. We went up onto Bodmin moor and after looking at the River Fowey and the Golitha falls in some wonderful Corwall ancient woodlands we took a look at Wheal Jenkin Tin and Copper mine and then New Phoenix Tin mine. These Copper and Tin mines date back to around 1836 and were served by the now abandoned Cheeswring railway. Wonderful examples of Georgian architecture and old Engine houses. We also look at The Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash just outside Plymouth built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel
