St Agnes Cornwall
A walk in Cornwall- Up The Beacon, St Agnes - down to Chapel Porth cove - along the coastal path to Wheal Coates and the Towanroath Pumping Engine House and return to start.
Wheal Coates is a former tin mine situated on the north coast of Cornwall, England, on the cliff tops between Porthtowan and St Agnes. It is preserved and maintained by the National Trust.
The site was worked for centuries but the surviving buildings date from the 1870s when deep underground mining began at the site and were stabilised and preserved in 1986.
There are three engine houses that formerly housed Cornish engines. Towanroath Pumping Engine House (1872) was used to pump water from the adjacent 600 ft Towanroath shaft. Whim Engine House was added in 1880 to crush ore for processing. A calciner dating from 1910--1913 roasted the tin to remove impurities such as arsenic.
In 1881 138 people were employed at the site to mine a seam of tin just below sea level but this and a subsequent period of operation from 1911-1913 were not very successful because tin production was sporadic.
CORNWALL DAYTRIPS: Wheal Coates & Chapel Porth Beach
The 2nd of my Cornwall Daytrips series takes us to Wheal Coates, a group of mining stacks and buildings on the north coast of Cornwall near St Agnes. We walked down to the stacks from the Wheal Coates car park and then down onto Chapel Porth Beach.
This is the PERFECT Cornish photo opportunity. You will see beautifully preserved mining stacks overlooking the rugged Cornish coastline being battered by a very blue ocean. Enjoy!
