Wheal Josiah waste tip I believe this includes a partially collapsed railway tunnel - probably straight ahead behind the no entry sign. I was not really looking for this at the time or I would have peered a bit closer. This area shows mounds of presumed toxic waste with very little vegetation. Some structured masonry is seen to the right.

Devon Great Consols - chimney This is the chimney for the arsenic calcining plant at Wheal Anna Maria that was part of Devon Great Consols. The relative absence of vegetation is due to the contamination of the ground by toxic materials.

Disused railway bridge, Wheal Emma, 1979 The photo was taken from the trackbed of the abandoned standard gauge mineral railway, looking south. In 1979 the embankment to the bridge, (marked FB on the OS Explorer map), is partially collapsed. The railway ran high above the Devon bank of the Tamar, from the former Devon Great Consols mine, south to Morwell Down where the mineral ores were winched down the inclined plane to Morwellham quay.

Chipshop There is a pub, a farm and a few houses, but not a chipshop in sight! The name for this hamlet may have come from old English words for log and workshop, either a log built workshop or a woodworker's shop (a chippies shop!).
