About Fencing in Gunnislake
Gunnislake in Cornwall grew rapidly during the nineteenth century mining boom that transformed the Tamar Valley into one of Britain's most productive mining regions, at its peak employing some seven thousand people across the valley extracting copper, tin and arsenic. Old Gunnislake Mine is reputed to have produced over half a million pounds worth of ore in the 1820s, and arsenic production continued at nearby Greenhill until at least 1930, leaving a landscape of preserved engine houses and mine workings.
