Hi all

Hoping someone can help, been working on another watercolour painting, from a postcard-but it doesn't say which mine it is... Would really like to find out and add as title to finish it off... So...any ideas?!

My impression is that Wheal Coates must be the most painted and photographed engine house in Cornwall. Possibly followed by Botallack maybe?

Is it safe to come out of the bunker yet?

It was even printed backwards on the cover of one of Daphne du Maurier's books!

Yes! That's it for sure! Thanks guys :thumbsup:

Funny you should say that Dolcoathguy, as was looking at Crowns Mine to be the next to tackle...might opt for something bit easier though for now-this one proved fairly challenging! ::)

Thanks again 😉
