Exmouth House, Chacewater
The house stands on The Terrace about 600 yards from the ruined engine house of the old Wheal Busy copper mine. Exmouth House was built around an original two-room cottage in about 1870 by the Harveys, a notable Chacewater mining family, for Samuel Harvey’s widow Philippa née Pellew (1807-86). She was the daughter of a past Captain of the mine, Israel Pellew, and a relative of a famous Cornishman, Admiral Edward Pellew, Lord Exmouth http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=2_ZstVBZSfIC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA80#v=onepage&q=&f=true , after whom she named the house. It was sold by her granddaughter sometime after 1902. Wheal Busy mine finally closed in 1920.

William Brunton patented his ‘Brunton Calciner’ in 1829 and greatly enhanced the speed at which arsenic (an impurity) could be removed from ore. Where the arsenic contamination was high it became economic to recover the arsenic as a by-product.
For an explanation of the Brunton Calciner visit this page from Chycor Cornwall: http://www.chycor.co.uk/tourism/tolgus/page5.htm

Broken landscape near Wheal Busy
The positions and view direction are a best guess because this worked over former mining land tends to look similar from different positions. I would happily accept suggestions to improve the accuracy
