Miners Cottage And Garden
The National Trust Miners Cottage is a typical Cornish cottage built about 1870 and furnished in the pre-1900 period. Built of wattle and daub, mud bricks, clay and limestone and given a coat of plaster and whitewashed, many of these cottages were to be found throughout the mine residential area.
The floors were frequently made from packing cases and the internal walls of hessian were covered with paper and whitewashed. The best room always had a double bed with canopy, cedar chest of drawers, and washstand with a set of bedroom china. There would also be a parlour with several cedar chairs, a harmonium, and a book of Wesley's hymns, a family Bible and so on.
Multi ticket admission is available to Moonta Mines Museum, Miners Cottage and Moonta Mines Tourist Railway.
