King EdwardMine Museum

King Edward Mine at Troon, on the outskirts of Camborne, was used to teach practical mining to Camborne School of Mines students between 1897 and 2005 and survives largely unaltered from that period, including a working 1901 Californian stamp battery and one of the last Cornish round frames still in place. A volunteer group formed in 1987 restored the site, which opened to the public as a museum in April 2002 and now forms part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site.
