Buddle Pit Wezzit

[Groninger Kroon]

Cwm Bychan?

Spot on skimble, and speedy!

I don't think I've got any more photos showing buddles, so would somebody else like to pick up the baton?

My earlier contribution was deleted as I didn't know the rules so here it is again. Arsenic calciner in the foreground and four round buddles

Are those china clay waste heaps in the background?

Bumping this back to the top. If no-one has any ideas, I shall spill the beans on Sunday and someone else can put up a new photo location

I'm assuming those are huge tips in the background? Maybe somewhere in the Northern Pennines?

Sorry, but no. They are china clay tips

China clay tips which puts this site in the St. Austell area. Haven't been in that neck of the woods for a long, long time, but have some vague recollections of processing stuff at the Wheal Martyn(?) museum

 

[BertyBasset]

Yes. That would be why. Not seen such huge tips in person. (excepting slate of course!)

Near Warleggan, I reckon.

The maps suggest "Hardhead Mine" near the Glynn Valley China Clay Works

You are correct. A great deal to see in both the china clay works and Hardhead mine and the workings on Hardhead Downs.

 

[Quarryman]

I don't have a lot but I did find this one.

I dropped the ball on keeping this alive - as nobody replied I will identify it and let someone else post something if they have anything. Its Hexworthy Mine, September 1991.

Not adding to the wezzit but there are some excellent drone photographs of the Poldice buddles and arsenic works here
