We're awarding £707,200 to @WhealMartyn China clay museum and mining works in St. Austell, #Cornwall. Plans to replace a pre-1907 roof and improve public access will help the site come off the @HistoricEngland Heritage at Risk Register.

Today’s scanniversary is the commencement of @WhealMartyn s’ epic interactive tour creation.
At the time we believed it to be the single largest @Matterport scan of its type in the world, and we’ve yet to see anything as large/ larger. Wheal Martyn is a great family day out and well worth the trip. You can take the virtual tour before you go to plan your visit and ensure you don’t miss anything 😎👍 wheal-martyn.com/virtual-tou…
