Ochre stream
The legacy of the mining of the district is complex. Now that there is no pumping, mines are flooded to the level of drainage adits, and water escapes through centuries of spoil and rubbish in the workings. Here water, laden with metals (though principally iron) is escaping into the adjacent Porthtowan River. The oxidation of the iron precipitates ochre (iron oxides and hydroxides) as it comes into contact with the air and forms puddles in this unsurfaced car parking area.

Porthtowan - Wheal Lushington engine house
The engine house was built for an "all indoors" beam engine that was never installed and now makes a distinctive house. In the foreground is the building housing the RNLI lifeguards and the local lifesaving club.

Wheal Lushington, Porthtowan
Engine house for a failed mining venture (Wheal Lushington - also known as New Wheal Towan) and now converted to a house. Built in 1872 and never contained an engine. A local referred to it as 'the folly'. The design of the house indicates a rotative with an all indoors beam. Almost certainly for winding. The mine would also have needed a pumping engine but there is no trace of this, if it was ever built.
