Tin

Well Cornish lads are fishermen
And Cornish lads are miners too
but when the fish and tin are all gone
What are the Cornish boys to do?

Tin from the South Crofty mine which was the last commercial tin mine to close in 1996.

So sad. Cool shot, though.

You make tin look beautiful!

[Stephen Jones]

So many Cornish miners down-under and in South America

@dorsetsteve They say that wherever there is hole in the ground, you will find a Cornishman at the bottom of it. Large Cornish communities still exist in Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, The US and South Africa. We quite often post out lucky Cornish Piskies to them from our shop. :)

Ah how lovely. I've still got my Cornish piskie and I have many things to be grateful for.
