Tolgus Tin Streaming Works

Tolgus Tin Streaming Works is a tin streaming facility built in the 19th century, consisting of various structures. The buildings are primarily made of sheet walls on timber frames, with some areas constructed from uncoursed granite and others rebuilt in concrete blocks, all topped with corrugated sheet roofs. This complex features small interlinked buildings that are all single storey but vary in height, with some built into or beneath the bank above the stream, making them appear below ground level.

While the exterior may not be particularly noteworthy, the interior contains significant machinery, including a 12-head set of Cornish stamps powered by an internal waterwheel, which was operational within the last four years. Other equipment includes a wooden round-frame, a ball-mill, and several Holman flotation tables. This plant was used for recovering tin from waste ore and represents a rare survival of such machinery in a nearly complete form, with some components predating steam power, such as the water-powered stamps.
