Wheal Basset - Miner's Shaft chimney
This served a winding engine installed in 1890. The mine closed by 1918. There is a very overgrown winding engine house out of sight to the left.

Wheal Basset - stubby chimney
This is on the edge of somebody's garden and is now of uncertain original function. It is close to a small engine house that drove a pump for recirculating water to the dressing floors and may have operated a rock crusher also.

Wheal Basset - chimneys
The closer chimney is shorter and served an uncertain function. The further chimney is quite a bit taller and served the boiler house for the Miner's Shaft winding engine.

Wheal Basset Stamps
Part of the great flat lode, this image is of the old Wheal Basset Stamps buildings where mineral ore was extracted from the adjacent mines. Whereupon the ore is crushed, stamped, extracting and refining the raw minerals.
In the image, the foreground is the old mine workings, the mine workings on the horizon and to the right is also part of the Basset mines (image of which, see Image)
The green field's to the left is the Wheal Buller and currently riding stables

Wheal Basset - ruinous engine house
It took me a while to recognise this overgrown ruin as a former engine house. This housed a horizontal duplex winding engine with 24 inch cylinders that drew from Miner's Shaft. The engine was erected in 1890 and took over the function of the whim engine at Lyle's shaft. The chimney survives out of shot to the right.

Wheal Basset - small engine house
This diminutive house was not for the main pumping or whim engines but housed a small engine used to recirculate water to the dressing floors. It is close to a stubby chimney on the other side of the path. The purpose of this chimney is now unknown.

Wheal Basset - Lyle's Shaft pumping engine
Listed Grade II. Built to house an 80" pumping engine designed by John Hocking and built by Harvey & Co of Hayle. The engine was erected on this shaft in 1879 and was the third to have occupied this site. The engine house had boiler houses on both side, which was unusual. In the background is the stamps engine house for West Wheal Basset. The Lyle's Shaft whim engine house is out of sight to the left.
