King Edward Mine

The King Edward Mine at Camborne, Cornwall, in the United Kingdom is a mine owned by Cornwall Council. At the end of the 19th century, students at the Camborne School of Mines spent much of their time doing practical mining and tin dressing work in the local tin mines. The industry was almost in ter

minal decline and the surviving mines were falling behind technically. This was hardly ideal from the instruction point of view. The only real solution was for Camborne School of Mines to have its own underground mine.
