Caradon Hill Underground Scrap Yard

Narrated Video Here :-    • Caradon Hill Underground Scrap Yard   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you go for a wander around the South side of Caradon hill in Cornwall, you may happen upon a rather scruffy looking Kittows Shaft. This is the most easterly part of the old abandoned South Caradon Mine, lying close the boundary with East Caradon Mine. It is a historical set of remains as well, for this is the location of the last man engine installed in Cornwall. The extensive mine with its many shafts was established by Captain James Clymo and his sons and the Kittow family after copper was discovered in 1833. It ran until the 1890s. The pioneering industrial developments, innovations and techniques used in this area were hugely important to the Industrial Revolution and exported all over the world. Many of the miners emigrated overseas after the mines closed. The Shafts join below ground then open up into a chamber which has an adit that resurfaces on the moor further downhill. Plymouth Caving Group when they were highly active in the 80's made their way into the Chamber via the adit but it has long since remained blocked due to collapse and forgotten / abandoned for many years. A popular local enthusiast who runs his own 'Adventure Cornwall' YouTube channel has been into the chamber via the adit around eight years ago before it collapsed. He has recently re-enabled a dig through the collapse after all this time. He is looking to recreate a connection from the adit to the chamber. You may have heard about the 'developments' on that front.    / @adventurecornwall.   We decided to drop down the shaft and have a wee look around and see what's to be expected when he breaks through to the other side of the dig. This is the video from that trip down the shaft via rope. The hanging death of chossy scrap metal around the shaft collars is particularly uninviting. This puts most sensible folk off having a punt at accessing the chamber floor via rope from the surface. The shafts were used as a dumping ground for old cars a few decades ago - a lot of which remain in the chamber rotting away slowly amongst the flaking granite. Chunks of which intermittently and continuously peel from the wall and roof, slowly burying the rust pile below.
