The Cornish Mining World Heritage Site Bid Partnership

The Cornish Mining World Heritage Site Bid Partnership is the grouping to which the Bid Team reports progress and key results during the Bid Project, its meetings additionally providing a regular opportunity for feedback from the project partners. This group, which will submit the Bid on behalf of the people of Cornwall and West Devon represents 73 organisations ranging from local authorities, national agencies, funding bodies, academic and research bodies, landowners, and mining companies to all those concerned with the future of the mining heritage of the area, including 126 individuals. 

Within the organisations listed below are many experts with specific interests in or knowledge of mining, engineering, social and local history, many of which are members of our Technical and Area Panels.

The Partnership continues to grow and the list below will be updated regularly. Please click on these links to access individual organisation’s websites. If your links are incorrect or missing, please contact the project office.
