Wheal Kitty, Cornwall
In 1930 Wheal Kitty mining operations ended The mine complex then evolved into a small industrial estate, the old mine buildings becoming at various times in their life warehouses, factories, workshops and even net stores for fishermen.
In 1987 Carrick Council purchased the site in and began a series of projects to "improve" the site for local businesses. Using traditional materials, the scheme, called Wheal Kitty Workshops, will see the former engine house restored and converted into office space. Five new units are also being built for office or workshop use.
