St Justin - Bolitho tin ingot (large) (cornish tin) Beaten Cornish tin ingot replica of original ingot salvaged from the seabed. The Cornish tin industry began nearly 4000 years ago during the Bronze Age. Tin was mined by our Celtic ancestors and exported to Europe and the Middle East where it was used for making weapons and tools. The tin was smelted and cast into ingots locally. Much of this tin was transported by sea from Cornwall and occasionally some of it was lost. One such cargo was shipped from Penzance on the SS Liverpool, which sank off Anglesey in 1863 where it remained for 138 years. The ingots were produced at a smelters owned by the Bolitho family in Chyandour, Penzance and stamped with the lamb and flag mark which was commonly used as a symbol of purity. Width: 23mm Length: 88mm Height: 10mm Supplied in a satin-lined gift box. Ref: DCG01 Weight: 0.25 Price:£24.47 (VAT Free) Quantity:

St Justin - Tin mine engine house Embossed solid Cornish tin model. Scattered thoughout Cornwall, standing sentinel over precipitous cliffs and rugged moorland, ageing stone structures defy the ravages of time. These buildings once contained giant steam engines that heralded an era when Cornwall led the world in mining technology and produced over half the world's tin. They stand today, a Cornish icon, above the old tunnels, shafts and workings - abandoned, water-filled, dark and silent - the real monument to the Cornish miner. Base width: 31mm Height: 61mm Base depth: 29mm Supplied in a satin-lined gift box. Ref: DCG03 Weight: 0.25 Price:£18.35 (VAT Free) Quantity:
