The monument on top of Carn Brea
The monument on top of Carn Brea
West Basset Stamps This is the remains of the buildings which housed machinery to crush, grade and concentrate the ore to make it ready for sale. On the horizon at the top of Carn Brea Hill is the De Dunstanville Memorial, a memorial to one of the Bassett family. The Bassetts were big landowners hereabouts in the 19th century. Landowners were just about the only people who were guaranteed to get rich from mining as they took a percentage of everything sold without having to invest a penny in any mines on their land.

Down to Carnkie The subject grid reference is for the cottage at the end of the fence. This view, taken from the lower southern slope of Carn Brea, looks into the south-eastern corner of this grid square and beyond to the other side of the valley and Wheal Bassett mine on the far hillside.

South Wheal Francis The mining buildings left standing here are huge compared to the remains normally seen in Cornwall. Most of these very impressive ruins were built in the later stages of mining in the area at the end of the 19th century and start of the 20th when South Wheal Francis had amalgamated with Basset Mines and this site became the focus of ore lifting and sorting operations. The ore was then taken east by railway to be processed at Basset stamps.
