A gathering of nearly 400 people enjoyed a unique performance by the Man Engine at Wheal Jane on July 30th. Halfway through its adventure through the county celebrating Cornwall’s mining heritage, this amazing engineering creation travelled from Truro to Wheal Jane for its last performance of the week.
Beautiful weather and a magnificent sunset provided the perfect backdrop for the introduction and rising of the giant Man Engine from where he gazed across the Carnon Valley towards Mount Wellington and the great Consolidated and United Mines areas beyond.
Following his visit to Wheal Jane, the Man Engine made his way to St Agnes and then Camborne, and on to numerous other mining locations, heading ultimately to his journey’s end at Geevor Mine.
Our congratulations go to Will Coleman and all his team for creating a great symbol of Cornwall’s mining heritage. Wheal Jane were delighted to be able to provide one of the locations on its great journey.
