King Edward Mine, Mining museum in Camborne, United Kingdom
The King Edward Mine features operational mining machinery, including a complete tin processing mill with stamps, shaking tables, and concentrating equipment.
Established in 1897 as a training facility for Camborne School of Mines students, the site became King Edward Mine in 1901 and operated until 1921.
Former miners serve as museum guides, sharing their direct knowledge of Cornwall's mining methods and technical developments through the centuries.
The museum opens from June to August, Sunday through Wednesday, between 10:00 and 16:00, with a cafe and parking facilities on site.
The site maintains the last remaining Holman Winder and houses one of the few complete sets of Californian stamps still present in the United Kingdom.
