Poldark Mine, waterwheel Seen in 1985 on the underground tour that eventually led into the museum buildings. The position is no more than a guess. It is a 14' diameter overshot wheel made by Redruth Foundry Company in 1904 and used at Treamble Mine. It is now in a wheelpit dating from 1493. Underground photography is no longer allowed here.

Wheal Roots, Poldark Mine - underground stamps In one of the underground chambers is this small set of stamps (6 head) belt driven by a small steam engine that has a compressed air coupling on it. Underground photography is no longer allowed but there was no issue in 1985.
