Description: | Botallack Mine, a site where both tin and copper were extracted, has two engine houses, seen here clinging to the edge of the rocky shoreline. The larger one was built in about 1816 and is unusual in having the stack inside the building due to the narrow promontory on which it stands. The second, smaller engine was built higher up the cliff in about 1858 to work a hoist for ore and men. | Subjects: | Waterscape Copper Mine Tin Mine Engine House Landscape Gable Coastal Chimney Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Davies, J O | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
