Dinorwic had 5 air-compressors in the quarry, the most well-known being the Compressor House on the Braich side of the quarry at Australia level. This example is lower down on the Garret side at Penrhydd Level, next to the Smithy and the start of the Foxes Path.

Photographed at the Battery Hill Mine Museum. Tennant Creek has a rich history as a gold mining centre. Here was found one of the richest gold bearing seams ever mined in the world. Very remotely located in central Australian desert country, life was harsh for the people who lived here.
To the left of this photo, hidden by the dense undergrowth and years of fly-tipping, is a site of immense importance in the history of Cornish mining. It was here, at New Sump Shaft, that the first true Cornish Beam Engine, designed by Richard Trevithick, was put to work in August 1816. It worked continuously until 1912.
