==19th-century to present== [[Cape Cornwall Mine]], a [[Tin mining|tin mine]] on the cape, was operated intermittently between 1838 and 1883. The mine's 1864 chimney near the peak of the cape was retained as an aid to navigation. In the early 20th-century, the former [[ore dressing]] floors were for a time converted for use as greenhouses and wineries. In 1987, the mine site was purchased by the [[H. J. Heinz Company]] of the United States (and British plants) and donated to the nation.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://businesscornwall.co.uk/news-by-industry/charity/2017/05/trust-remembers-heinz-gesture/ |website=Business Cornwall |title=Trust remembers Heinz gesture |date=2017-05-25 |access-date=2023-04-16}}</ref> The remains of Cape Cornwall Mine are designated as part of the [[Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape]], a [[UNESCO World Heritage Site]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/cornwall/cape-cornwall |website=National Trust |title=Cape Cornwall |access-date=2023-04-16}}</ref>
