Dive into the extraordinary story of Heartlands Cornwall, a £35 million regeneration project built on the historic site of South Crofty’s Robinson Shaft, a former tin mine in Pool, near Redruth. Officially opened in 2012 by King Charles (then Duke of Cornwall) and Queen Camilla, this World Heritage Site gateway aimed to celebrate Cornwall’s mining heritage while transforming one of its most neglected areas into a thriving cultural destination. Explore the remarkable restoration of Grade II* listed mine buildings, including Robinson’s Shaft and its iconic Cornish pumping engine, alongside modern additions like the Diaspora Gardens, adventure playgrounds, artist studios, and community spaces. Discover the challenges Heartlands faced, from its initial success with over half a million visitors to its financial difficulties and closure in January 2024. Learn how this ambitious project united architects, planners, and conservationists to create a BREEAM-certified sustainable development that blended Cornish mining history with contemporary design. Despite its closure, Heartlands remains a symbol of resilience and community ambition. Join us as we uncover this unique site’s rise, fall, and uncertain future.
