Beautifully captured scene, Richard. I really appreciate the detailed description. It really fleshes out the back-story that is missing from so many images. v/f

Richard Brookes replied:

Many thanks Douglas that's really appreciated. A few years back I realised I didn't always understand what I was looking at. I now try and research these historical sites before I visit so I don't miss so much and have some idea what to look for. It also brings them to life a little I think. Hopefully some of these images at the more remote and less well visited and less accessible locations will provide a contemporary photographic record especially for those buildings in danger of collapse.

The list makes the image. Great vision, Richard. - Mike (V)

Richard Brookes replied:

Thank you Michael, the mist certainly added more atmosphere although there is plenty surrounding the site given its overgrown and slightly hidden location.

A lovely photo! It is easy to imagine it being the site of a fairytale! l/f

Richard Brookes replied:

Thank you Suzanne, so pleased you like it. Yes i know what you mean. When you are there it feels a special, enchanted sort of place, very quiet and still apart from the sound of water emptying from the old adit into the river below.

A lot of the relatives came from Yorkshire I need a good map next lol

Richard Brookes replied:

Haha. If you need old UK maps the National Library of Scotland (believe it or not) https://maps.nls.uk/ is a good place to search.

Doing family research right now, love all the information, our blood line goes back to Sir Wyatt and Anne Skinner? I am still working on more information. Nice photos

Richard Brookes replied:

Thank you. That's fascinating William. I've done some of my family history too. It is so absorbing, real detective work. When the price of copper and tin fell here and the mines closed many Cornish miners resettled in the US taking the technology and techniques with them.

Artist's Description

The ghostly, poignant ruins of Gunnislake Clitters Mine are almost hidden in the mist and forested slopes of Clitters Wood on the banks of the River Tamar, near Gunnislake, Calstock parish, Tamar Valley, SE Cornwall, SW England, UK.

The fascinating riverside pumping engine house, built in 1882 housed a 22 inch rotative pumping steam engine which was installed and working in November of that year. Ruins of the boiler house are adjacent to the left and held a 15 ton Lancashire Boiler, 7ft diameter by 30ft long, which also supplied steam to a 15 inch engine driving a compressor. The remains of two settling tanks are also nearby. The main engine supplied clean river water to the Skinner's Shaft boiler house further upslope and also augmented the water supply to the lower slope dressing floor.

Water draining from the mine from the Clitters Adit is still flowing in front and under these buildings discharging into the River Tamar through the old water wheel housings and wheel...

About Richard Brookes

Richard Brookes

Images exploring Devon & Cornwall's remote inspiring landscapes, breathtaking coast, ruins and shipwrecks in this beautiful part of SW England, UK. The stunning natural beauty of the area, which changes with the light, seasons and coastal climate, is constantly inspiring. There is so much history here too with human occupation spanning millennia. A photographer's dream. My photos are mostly taken spontaneously in less visited places or from unusual viewpoints. If they hold your attention, lift your spirit, make you ask questions, make you smile or fire your imagination and your wish to explore then it is more than enough reward....although you can buy prints too! ;)My photos mostly explore beautiful rural North Devon & Cornwall...
