STOKE CLIMSLAND KIT HILL SX 37 SE 8/153 Chimney at Kithill - Great Consols Mine

GV II

Chimney, probably arsenic flue. 1858. Roughly coursed granite with a little slate stone; granite ashlar to capping of shaft and base. Circular shaft on stepped square base with blind rectangular panel to each face and stepped capping. Shaft has moulded plinth and capping with projecting square slab to top. Associated earthworks and shafts. Formed part of the Kithill Consols mining complex, which continued in operation until late C19 and was primarily concerned with tin extraction. Late C20 steel bands wrapped around shaft which has aerials attached. Situated on the top of Kithill, the chimney makes a prominent land-mark.
