Chimney, Porthtowan Valley
This apparently isolated chimney is behind some houses on a bridleway and is in the vicinity of Tywarnhayle Mine but not necessarily connected.
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.
