Ottery Mine Site

Preserved tin and arsenic mine site with ruins and signs explaining Emmaville's industrial past.

Ottery Mine Site is a preserved remnant of the district's mining economy, where tin and later arsenic were worked before the mine closed in the 1950s. The site has been made safe and interpreted with signs.

It is a short, sober stop rather than a polished attraction. That honesty is the point: the ruins make the cost and scale of local mining easier to understand.
