Description:  ‘Mount Wellington, overshadowed by its neighbour Wheal Jane, was one of 4 new mines that reopened during the 1970s. Following extensive exploration throughout the County and the increase in tin prices expectation was high that this revival would be long lasting. After overcoming numerous problems Mount Wellington went into production in 1976 but closed 2 years later. John Hurr was involved at the mine over a 12 year period from 1969 to 81 and his reminiscences help to explain the optimism and disappointment of this, the final chapter in Cornish mining.’ (Cover blurb).
