Along the strike of the Great Flat Lode – is to be
found the finest surviving assemblage of engine houses along a
single mineralised structure anywhere in the world.
For 4 km the landscape between and beyond the high
hills of Carn Brea and Carnkie Hill is characterised by 24 engine
houses (demonstrating a range of pumping, winding and stamping
functions), tin dressing floors, extensive tramway beds, mining
settlements and the site of the largest tin smelter in Cornwall. |
