Description
Wheal Coates tin mine ruins, is positioned beautifully on the cliff edge along the coastal path from St Agnes Head and just up from Chapel Porth along the coast of Cornwall, England . It was first recorded in 1692 and mined in the form of workings in the cliff and surrounding area. Wheal Coates officially opened in 1802, remaining a fairly unsuccessful mine for its entire life. It was sold in 1844 and reopened in 1872. During the 1872 reopening is when the stamps and whim engine were built, however closed again in 1889. The mine was briefly reworked between 1910-1914 before coming under the care of the National Trust in the 70’s and 80’s. The prominent feature at the top of the cliff is the 24″ dual whim and stamps that sits right on top of the cliff.
