Luckett
The village street, with Luckett Bridge http://list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1220500&searchtype=mapsearch visible just before the row of cottages facing the camera. The whole village forms a conservation area, more than half of which is occupied by the former New Consols Mine, its workings and buildings associated with it.

Machine bases in the woods south of Luckett
I believe that these are associated with the modern mill at Wheal Martha, dating from the 1940s. There are extensive overgrown industrial remains in the woods here, owned by the Duchy of Cornwall but with permissive public access.

Wheal Martha or New Great Consols, Luckett
One of the engine houses on this mine, taken in 1977. This was the 28 inch crusher. The mine was noted for its complicated ores, making separation difficult. These included copper, arsenic, silver, wolfram, tin and pyrite. For many years the main pumping engine remained in its house, rusting away. These days the excessive ivy growth has more or less completely enveloped this house.
