More about this scene
When one looks at this inviting cavern, it is no wonder that after the copper mining itself finished West Mine became a magnet for explorers despite, or perhaps because of, the dangers of going underground. Between the two world wars Jack Perrin, who lived in the nearby Hagg Cottages, used to sit by the entrance and sell half candles to people who wanted to go down the mine.
