Dist:0.4km<br/>In the early nineteenth century there was a huge increase in the number of miners working at Wheal Vor. Many of them were Methodists and this chapel and Sunday School was built in 1833, replacing a smaller earlier one. The building is no longer a chapel but is still the largest building in the village.

Dist:0.5km<br/>I stood in the field entrance and used the telephoto end of my zoom lens to frame the engine house with the bales in the field in front of it. According to Stephen Polglase's thoroughly researched and well-illustrated "Book of Breage and Germoe: the heart of the Godolphin tin dynasty" this engine house held a 40-inch cylinder steam engine and it ceased work in 1885.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Former village pump dating from the 19th century. For context see [[2682594]]. The pump metalwork was formerly where the water is spouting from. There is also a separate opening on the side for filling buckets - see [[2682628]]. Grade II listed - see http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1328336.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Lane junction at the north end of Trew. Note the pre-Worboys "No Through Road" sign, and the helpful addition of a modern pictorial sign (albeit smaller than standard) for those who can't read.
