CARN BREA WEST TOLGUS SW 64 SE 5/179 Group of 3 chimney stacks at West Wheal Tolgus on west side of Tolskithy valley at SW 680 425

II Group of 3 chimney stacks, now derelict. Probably mid to later C19, and probably associated with processing of tin streamings. Uncoursed granite rubble and some brick. Grouped within a radius of no more than 20 metres, and all of cylindrical form and slightly tapered, the southernmost stout and short, with remains of former brick upper stage, the one to the north of this slender, with remains of a brick cornice, and the one to the east of these with a marked step between its stout stone base and the remains of its brick upper stage. Together they form a very striking group close to the new A30 trunk road.
