This is a clip of the last days of Geevor as the water is rising up the sub incline... The loss of our last mines was a body blow to Cornwalls economy that no amount of jobs in supermarkets and fast food outlets will ever replace... The work was dirty and hard but well paid, it was a way of life for those who chose to be miners, many of whom subsequently took their skills abroad where they were eagerly sought but the huge sums that the mines contributed locally in wages and the need for supplies was gone and has never been effectively replaced, we are all the poorer for it. https://youtube/watch?v=DYZtYEuAokk&list=PLpLzBcC9ZQTGD8BfXLNBzZzO6tDasgFP9&index=21
