Dist:0.9km<br/>This was very derelict then and the beam floor was not accessible due to a dodgy staircase. This engine was removed in August/September 2008 for re-erection elsewhere in the county. Its state of dereliction and location over valuable clay reserves had made this inevitable.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The beam, condenser and air pump assembly are visible in a shot obliquely against the light. The intervening years were not kind and the shaft mouth collapsed taking the air pump and condenser with it. In September 2008, Century Millwrights dismantled the engine and it is now in store. It is hoped that it will be re-erected in a proposed project in Hayle.

Dist:0.9km<br/>50" Cornish beam engine of 1863. Installed 4th hand in 1910. Dismantled by Century millwrights in September 2008 and placed in store. It is hoped that it may be re-erected in a proposed project in Hayle.

Dist:0.9km<br/>This looks quite a natural scene but nothing here is as it was. The wide valley flood plain is almost full of china clay spoil leaving just enough room for a road and a stream along the valley bottom.

Dist:1.0km east<br/>Looking over the parapet of a bridge on a minor road. The remarkable thing about this stream is that the water is fairly clear after having come through an area of intense china clay workings. Without proper filtering of the run-off from the workings this water would look like milk.
