Heartbreak project will certainly give visitors to Cornwall a chance to see a mining landscape in the raw, complete with grass, trees, glazed buildings, polished granite and places for miners to enjoy public performances!! Not a trace of mud or dust.
Its just up the road from me, and during the "consultation" I was assured that the buildings would reflect our local architecture. Still trying to see where!
As for it being built to 'interpret Cornish Mining' for up to 250,000 visitors a year, I seem to recall 'Cornish Engines'- Taylors and Mitchells were redeveloped to cater for exactly the same number of visitors about 15 years ago, so now within half a mile we can cater for half a million visitors per year.
We were definitely told South Crofty was in the wrong place by the powers that be before 'Heartbreak' began, ignoring the old Cornish say that 'Tin is where Tin is'!
