UPDATE - To correct description; some select quotes from Cornwall in Focus: 'Wheal Owles Mine (pronounced 'Oals') lies on the cliffs on the north coast of Cornwall, about a mile and a half northeast of Cape Cornwall in the St. Just mining area of north Penwith district.' 'There is known to have been a mine in this general area from the 1700's but Wheal Owles' best years were during the decade 1860-70' 'West Wheal Owles as this section became known continued working until one fateful day in January 1893. About 40 miners were working as a 'pare' or team in the undersea levels of Wheal Owles and some 400 feet below adit level accidentally holed into the flooded old workings of Wheal Drea Mine. It appears that the miners thought that they were about 40 yards away and quite safe from breaking into the workings of the old mine but were tragically mistaken. They holed into the workings of Wheal Drea at a depth of some 900 feet (148 fathoms) below the surface. The head pressure on this volume of water must have been enormous and the sea thundered into Wheal Owles trapping over 30 men. There were some heroic deeds on that day and some miners were saved by quick thinking of their colleagues but there were still 19 miners and one mine boy lost on that fateful morning' - - - Connect with me on Facebook
