Brief Description
"Much of the landscape of Cornwall and West Devon was
transformed in the 18th and early 19th centuries as a result of the
rapid growth of pioneering copper and tin mining. Its deep underground
mines, engine houses, foundries, new towns, smallholdings, ports and
harbours, and their ancillary industries together reflect prolific
innovation which, in the early 19th century, enabled the region to
produce two-thirds of the world’s supply of copper. The substantial
remains are a testimony to the contribution Cornwall and West Devon made
to the Industrial Revolution in the rest of Britain and to the
fundamental influence the area had on the mining world at large. Cornish
technology embodied in engines, engine houses and mining equipment was
exported around the world. Cornwall and West Devon were the heartland
from which mining technology rapidly spread."
康沃尔和西德文矿区景观
"由于18世纪到19世纪早期铜矿和锡矿开采的迅速发展，康沃尔和西德文的大部分景观发生了很大变化。地表深处的地下矿井、动力车 间、铸造厂、卫星城、小农场、港口和海湾，以及各种辅助性的产业都体现了层出不穷的创新，正是这些创新使该地区在19世纪早期生产了全世界三分之二的铜。 矿区遗址体现了康沃尔郡和西德文郡对于英国其他地区工业革命做出的巨大贡献，以及该地区对全球采矿业产生的深远影响。康沃尔的技术体现于出口到全世界的发 动机、动力车间和采矿设备。康沃尔郡和西德文郡是采矿技术迅速传播的中心地带。19世纪60年代，该地区的采矿业逐渐衰落，于是大量矿工迁移到其他具有康 沃尔传统的矿区生活和工作，比如南非、澳大利亚、中美洲和南美洲，在那里仍然保留着康沃尔式的动力车间。"
