Brunton's Arsenic Calcining Kiln
This is a nice, mostly complete calcining kiln. A waterwheel provided power for the gearing sited in the front opening. A table rotated five times an hour heating the cassiterite ore to 600 degrees celsius. The cassiterite (tin ore) was collected off the table, the arsenic was condensed in a flue and scraped off.

Gilbert's Combe milestone - detail
Portreath 3 miles to the north, and Redruth (Town Centre) 1 mile south. The stone stands about 4' high, which makes it quite large by the standards of these things.

Gilbert's Combe milestone in its setting
Perched (rather precariously, frankly) on the roadside wall beside the B3300; if knocked off, it'll fall straight into the adjacent stream.

Brunton's Arsenic Calcining Kiln
Worm gearing that rotated the calcining table five times an hour. I think it was powered by a long gone water wheel.
