- Photo title: Path to the Arsenic Works At Botallack, Cornwall
- Author: Mretallick
- Cover photo description:
- Botallack was a submarine mine, with tunnels extending under the sea, in places for half a mile. Over its recorded lifetime, the mine produced around 14,500 tonnes of tin, 20,000 tonnes of copper and 1,500 tonnes of arsenic. In the 1860s a new diagonal shaft was dug. In 1865, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited and descended down the shaft, creating a mini-boom in tourism that caused the mine operators to charge visitors a guinea per person. The mine closed in 1895 as a result of falling tin and copper prices.
