Description

Chimney at Holmbush Mine, dating from the early to mid-19th century, is constructed from roughly coursed slate stone and granite, featuring a stepped capping made of purple brick at the top. The chimney has a circular section that tapers towards the top. It was part of Holmbush Mine, which was first mentioned as a lead mine in the 17th century and later extracted copper and tin. Mining operations ceased in 1854, but the mine reopened as part of Callington United Mines from 1888 to 1892.
