Chapple's Shaft pump engine house and separate chimney, Old Cook's Kitchen Mine, Camborne

Older than most in the area, copper was possibly mined here as early as the 1690s. It's named after a miner called Cook, who discovered a copper lode and according to legend he exclaimed that it was "as wide as my kitchen!". These remaining mine buildings of Chapple's Shaft date from around 1838. In the background the headgear from South Crofty mine can be seen.
