Mount Wellington Tin mine in Cornwall opened in 1976 and was the first new mine in the region in many years.

With the fall of tin prices and the withdrawal of pumping subsidies, the mine finally closed in 1991. An attempt to revive the mine occurred when an individual tried to transform it into a visitor attraction. However his endeavor failed, and the site now lies dormant.
