King Edward Mine Open Day

King Edward Mine is the oldest complete mine site left in Cornwall and is situated in the World Heritage Area. All the buildings are Grade II* Listed and are of national importance.

This year's Open Day was Sunday 26th April 2009 when the whole site was open free to visitors and much of the machinery was working.

King Edward Mine was formerly part of the South Condurrow Mine which was abandoned in the 1890s.  It was re-opened and developed between 1897 and 1906 by the famous Camborne School of Mines (CSM) as an operational/training mine.   CSM used the site until 2005.
