Carpalla
As the china clay industry grew so did the villages to house the workers, but mainly in a linear fashion along existing roads. This stretch of houses is called Carpalla and merges imperceptibly into Foxhole to the north.

Carpalla engine house
I've struggled long and hard with the location of this but I think I'm right for the grid reference on the solitary engine house in the middle. Streetview has also pinned down my position now.
The engine house is one of the few with a roof and housed a 40" engine moved from a metalliferous mine at St Agnes. Here it drained a china clay pit which is now flooded as a mica dam. The engine was removed in 1944 and is in store at the Wroughton store of the Science Museum.
