 FINISTERRE
at Wheal Kitty Workshops, St Agnes
Forward thinking design has helped to transform a
derelict tin mine into high quality workspace in the west
of Cornwall.
Historically Wheal Kitty tin mine provided the major source
of employment for the village until the industry went into
terminal decline.
In 1997, Wheal Kitty Phase One meant that work space replaced
some of the old mine buildings. In 2006, Phase Two, which
received Objective One investment, was opened. This phase
saw the transformation of the Grade II listed former engine
house into bespoke offices; the construction of environmentally
friendly units built and more than 30 jobs created.
