West Basset Stamps

I am stood by the stamps engine house that housed a 40" rotative engine built by Tuckingmill Foundry, Camborne in 1875. The concrete reinforced flywheel loadings are seen bottom right. The building opposite is the 1906 vanner house and you can see the bed for the small steam engine that drove the frue vanners. On the hill opposite and to the left you can make out the buildings and chimneys of the Wheal Basset stamps.
