One of the highlights of the trip for the students was an exploration of the miners ‘dry’. This was the area where miners kept their belongings and changed before and after shifts. This area of the mine has been kept exactly as it was left when the mine shut. Miners clothes still hang in their lockers and give a very real sense of how life was for these uniquely brave group of Cornish workers.

Throughout the day there was a chance to sketch and photograph all aspects of mining history and they produced some good outcomes to record the day.
