Rare moment when Cornish mine chimneys are fired.Quite surreal watching smoke emit from the engine houses and to imagine this once was a thriving mining area, in fact the Great Flat Load was once the richest square mile on the planet.

Ahh yes, Fortescue's engine had the biggest of all pumps.
We missed the smoking chimneys by about a week.
Must have been tremendous to see it first hand.

I'm told it's Grenville United, Fortescue's winding and pumping engines:
