South Frances Mine ruins Widely regarded as the finest group of mining remains in Cornwall, South Frances is located on the Great Flat Lode. Working into the 1900s this site was the scene of the last-ditch attempt to mine this lode in depth, with an up-to-date new steam pump installed in the cathedral-like ruins. It was intended to eventually sink the shaft to 500 fathoms (3000 feet, 914 metres) but ingress of water from other nearby closed mines caused the mission to be eventually abandoned. The collar of the shaft has been safely covered by a grille which allows a view into the massive brick-lined shaft.  A large ore bin, miners' dry, boiler house and other sundry buildings complete with fine site.
