Geevor Tin Mine, Mining museum in St Just, Cornwall, England.
The Geevor Tin Mine complex spans 67 acres along Cornwall's coast, featuring original mining buildings, machinery, and educational exhibits about mineral extraction methods.
Opening in 1911 and operating until 1990, the mine produced 50,000 tons of black tin and employed 270 people during its peak production period.
Former miners now serve as guides, sharing their direct experiences of underground work and maintaining connections to Cornwall's mining traditions.
The site includes underground tours of Wheal Mexico Mine, a hard rock museum, mineral panning activities, and operates from 9 AM to 5 PM Sunday through Thursday.
The mine's tunnels flooded in May 1991 after water pumps were turned off, creating an underground water system beneath the museum complex.
