Geevor Tin Mine的点评
点评：Fab visit on a wet and windy February day, when staying in St Ives. I wanted to go because we have Cornish-Brazilian mining in the family history and took my 6 year old because he is interested in rocks, gems and machines. We stayed 4 hours including a pitstop for cake in the cafe (beautiful view and main dishes looked fab from afar!), a pause to listen to a visiting geologist, and a 20 minute sit down to hear part of an ex-miner's experience. I would've stayed longer if it was just me/adults visiting. Highlights for my child: panning for little gemstones (they are frequent enough in the sand to keep young kids keenly focused!), Peter demonstrating the shaking table process, seeing all the machines that turned big rock into tiny grains, the hands-on display cases in the Hard Rock museum, and just generally learning that getting what you want out of the rock is a multistep process. Staff graciously answered my son's questions and gave him objects to hold to bring it alive.
Highlights for me: the engineering of it all, hearing Vaughan's experiences as a miner, and seeing The Dry - where the miners got ready - all left as it was when the mine closed in the 80s. That room has some SOUL! The site is not setup to make an overtly politicial point, but wow, that space brought it home...what a human loss the decline of mining was/is to our country and to the communities who belonged together doing such difficult work.
The underground mine tunnel was dripping wet and atmospheric (there was a month of rain before we visited) so a raincoat protected and helped when we squeezed past rock sides. I appreciated that there were staff posted along the underground walk route and also that it was short! (really dont like such close spaces but wanted to see it for personal reasons). On the day we visited, spacing in the tunnel meant that we had a clear view ahead and no one behind us. Overall a fascinating and moving day out, we both learned loads.

翻译：二月的一个阴雨天，我们住在圣艾夫斯，这次参观体验非常棒。我们家有在康沃尔-巴西从事采矿的历史，所以想去那里参观。我带了6岁的儿子，因为他对岩石、宝石和机械很感兴趣。我们待了4个小时，包括在咖啡馆稍作休息吃蛋糕（景色很美，主菜从远处看起来也很诱人！），听一位来访的地质学家讲解，以及坐下来听一位前矿工讲述他的经历（大约20分钟）。如果只有我们几个大人，我肯定会待更久。我儿子最喜欢的是：在沙子里淘小宝石（沙子里宝石很多，足以让小孩子全神贯注！），彼得演示摇床作业，看到所有把大块岩石变成小颗粒的机器，硬石博物馆里的互动展柜，以及了解到从岩石中提取所需物品是一个多步骤的过程。工作人员热情地回答了我儿子的问题，还给了他一些实物让他触摸，使之更加生动形象。
对我来说，亮点在于：整个工程的精妙设计、聆听沃恩讲述他作为矿工的经历，以及参观“干燥室”（矿工们准备下矿的地方）——那里保留着上世纪80年代矿井关闭时的原貌。那个房间充满了灵魂！这个遗址并非刻意表达政治观点，但哇，那个空间却让我感触良多……采矿业的衰落对我们国家以及那些曾经共同从事艰苦工作的社区来说，是多么巨大的损失啊！
地下矿井隧道里湿漉漉的，气氛诡异（在我们参观之前下了整整一个月的雨），所以穿雨衣既能防雨，也能在穿过岩石壁时起到辅助作用。我很感激地下通道沿途有工作人员值守，而且隧道很短！（我其实不太喜欢这么狭窄的空间，但因为个人原因还是想去看看）。我们参观的那天，隧道里的间距正好合适，视野开阔，身后也没有其他人。总而言之，这是一次令人难忘又感人至深的旅行，我们都学到了很多东西。
