Tin ore was roasted at a low heat to drive off sulphur and arsenic which would have ruined the smelting process. The fumes went through a long tunnel where arsenic was deposited on the walls and the remaining fumes went out through this chimney. In the mid distance can be seen the King Edward Mine, now a museum, and on the horizon is the Woolf's Engine House Image
