1835 · Cornish Engine House on the Cliff · Werk 325 von 1.871

The Crowns engine house of Botallack Mine clinging to the granite cliff in Cornwall: a tall plain rectangular engine house of granite and brick standing on a rock ledge just above the sea at the foot of the cliff, its chimney stack built into its own wall and rising above the roof, a massive bob wall at the shaft end with the beam of the pumping engine nodding out over the shaft that runs out beneath the Atlantic seabed, the bare rock cliff rising behind, the sea breaking below.
