Description

The eminent historian and author of The Rise of King Cotton uncovers the centuries-old story of tin mining in Southern England.

Tin mining has existed in Cornwall and parts of Devon since before the Romans arrived in Britain. In this book, historian Anthony Burton explores the region's tin mining industry from its earliest period through to the present day.

A specialist in the history of technology, Burton examines the evolution of extraction methods from primitive pick and shovel operations to the later use of explosives, the rise of steam power, and beyond. Burton also looks at the changing politics and economics of the tin mining industry over the centuries.
