In
1926 there occurred a drastic fall in the price of tin. Geevor Tin Mine at
Pendeen stepped down production and rather than lose a skilled work force
they built Norton Mede. Originally called just "The Bungalow" it
was the Mine Captain's (manager's) residence and had a staff of servants until
the 1950's. The building faces the Western Approaches and has commanding sea
views.
Norton
Mede is a large single storey building situated on the Heritage
Coast Road 10 miles (16Km) from Land's End and 11 miles (18km) from St Ives
in the old mining village of Pendeen in West Cornwall.
