Wheal Ellen This engine house is on the site of Wheal Ellen (1834-1862) and was built in 1866 to house a 70 inch pumping engine but the venture failed before it was ever installed. The castellated chimney is unusual if not unique in Cornwall. — Wheal Ellen Credit: Chris Allen

The Portreath Tramroad near Mawla The tramroad originally connected the tin and copper mines in the hills around Redruth and Camborne with the sea at Portreath, which has a good harbour for export. It&#039;s now converted to a footpath and cycleway, part of an extensive network of old mine roads in the district.

North Downs trig - closeup The pillar itself is in good condition, as is the flushbracket. Sadly, the &#039;man with the allen key&#039; has long since helped himself to the brasswork from the top.

Capped shaft at Wheal Peevor An unnamed adit shaft of the Wheal Peevor mine, capped by the council in 2005. By (the highly unscientific method of) dropping a stone down it, I deduced that it was too deep to want to fall down, so they did the right thing by capping it off.

Wheal Peevor - the remains of the calciners Brunton Calciners were an important part of the tin mining and processing system, as they removed a variety of impurities (copper, arsenic, iron) from the concentrate before it was further processed and smelted. Most of this involved huge amounts of heat, and took place in these calciners.
