Wow. Absolutely stunning......what amazing imagery, I had no idea there were so many mines as well as the obvious ones. And think of all the millions of man hours and hundreds or thousands of lives lost.. and the thousands of trees cut down for pit props! Sobering.
This is just stuff that was recorded there is loads mines missing before records had to be kept and lots of the ones you see even have older workings missing as if they were worked out and disused didn't need recording
Superb, thank you! I live in Mt Hawke and have passed the various entrances to Tywarnhale mine which is a short walk from our house. I so appreciate all the work that goes into the various mine exploration/representation videos. It is all jaw-droppingly eye-opening. Well done! 🍾❤️
Brilliant, thank you for this. Such a lot of work. Must enjoy a Philips pasty watching this sometime for a treat, sorry not to ever put in a 12 hours shift of hard graft down there. I have to say I still can't listen to "These are the days of our life' without getting a watery eye - however you have made it nicer.
Thanks, the models take a while to create and I listen to music while I create them. Suitable music sometimes just appears, and goes well with the visuals. Keep watching there will be more.
Someone did say I could turn my models into a Turner prize entry ! They are more than just a representation of the work of generations of miners, they are perhaps art in themselves.
This is an amazing map, but just shows the shafts and drives and not the stopes. This was the ground they removed between levels, some leaving a hole big enough to swallow Truro cathedral!
A viewer is under development - which will allow the models to be viewed within a game engine There is more work to be done investigating how the best way to view on the web.
Hey, this is amazing. I don't suppose you could share the share the model could you? The video is great, but I would love to be able to pan around myself. Perhaps a way to export the data to Google earth or something? That would be a dream
Not sure. There has to be a fair bit of assumption. A lot of these mines were not adequately surveyed, if at all. There's no representation of stope workings in vertical or near-vertical seams, which would show as a sheet of excavation, not just galleries, shafts and winzes. Looks good though, because like in coalfields or stone-mining areas, there are miles and miles of old workings, surviving or collapsed.
Wow, so impressive, both the rendering and the miners who dug the workings.

Fantastic illustration of the scale of the underground industry in Cornwall. Quite hypnotic also !

'Philps' 😉
This is incredible! I'm so glad I stumbled onto this while doing some casual research into the mines around Scorrier, St. Day and United Downs.
As well as all the information, a beautiful piece of video art. Should be in Tate St Ives.

How ???? ..........WOW!!!....
(and a Cornishman on the backing track......)
Just absolutely stunning thanks
Spectacular! Great work at preserving all this data.

Wasn't they busy absolutely amazing..
i'd highly recommend not using copyrighted music as it could mean these videos are removed in their entirety by youtube.
That was mind blowing!
How hasn't Cornwall collapsed into a big hole in the ground!! amazing video, but what do the different colours represent?
Wheres Wherry mine you didnt model wherry mine near penzance
Amazing stuff!
Looks great! Is this something we can access and have a look as well? Would love to have an explore

We are working on a method by which you can explore the data. It will either be web based or through a games engine.
You 'ave at it my beauty
Stumbled across and am amazed (local lad), any update on this being available?
Proper job.
How is this done?
