Uploader's Comments

On the lower slopes of Carn Brea just north of the village is the tall engine house and separate stack of a 40 inch stamps engine built by Tuckingmill Foundry, Camborne in 1875 to alleviate the mine's previously inadequate stamping capacity. The stamps engine house stands above one of the finest surviving 19th century dressing floors in Cornwall where the ore was concentrated.
