| Short description | Botallack Tin Mine forms part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site in Cornwall. Perched on the cliff side are the Crowns Engine Houses. The lower engine house constructed in 1830 the upper completed in 1861. Both are made from granite to equal the strains of the great engines housed within. The image captured at sunset expresses the simplicity of form and surface of these granite extrusions against the natural form of the cliff face. The image displays how simple surfaces and apertures exposed to the right light can transport practical architecture/infrastructure into the picturesque, the beautiful, the epiphonic. |
