Devon and Cornwall Mining Trust

The Devon and Cornwall Mining Trust was a financial organization established in the 19th and early 20th centuries to support and manage investments related to the mining industry in the Devon and Cornwall regions of England. It aimed to finance mining operations, improve infrastructure, and promote economic development in these historically significant mining areas. By pooling resources and providing capital, the trust played a key role in sustaining and expanding local mineral extraction activities, particularly tin and copper mining, contributing to regional prosperity during that era.
