thumb Levant Mine and Beam Engine is a National Trust property at Trewellard, Pendeen, near St Just, Cornwall, England, UK. Its main attraction is that it has the world's only Cornish beam engine still operated by steam on its original site. There is also a visitor centre, a short underground tour, and a cliff-top footpath that leads to Botallack Mine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Levant Mine and Beam Engine )〕 The property is on the site of the former Levant Mine, established in 1820 and closed in 1930, where tin and copper ores were raised. The mine reached a depth of about 600 metres. It got the nickname "mine under the sea", because tunnels were driven up to 2.5 km from the cliffs under the sea. ==See also== *Man engine for an account of the accident in the mine on 20 October 1919. *Geevor Tin Mine, just to the north-east of the Levant complex. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Levant Mine and Beam Engine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
