Tolgus Tin Mine -  Cornish Heritage and Museum in Cornwall

If you’re looking for Cornwall’s Industrial Heritage and History then a visit to the Tolgus Tin Mine is a must. The mill is authentic and unique, which for hundreds of years processed tin ore.

The mill continues to be one of the most important industrial heritage sites in Cornwall. Inside you will find… shaking tables, a round table, water wheels, dipper wheels, launders, pulverisors, slime pits and much more

The heart of the mill is a massive 12 headed set of Cornish Stamps still driven by a 16’ water wheel, perhaps the only ones left in Europe! All machinery in the mill was assembled to extract residue tin particles from the river that runs through Treasure Park.

‘Tolgus Mill has been described as a national treasure!’ – Media Scene.
