Geevor Tin Mine
The mine closed mining operations in 1991, however it was the collapse of the price of tin in 1985 that triggered this close.

The mine's surface buildings are now maintained by Cornwall Council as a heritage museum with much of the heavy equipment still in place as of when it closed.
