DescriptionWinding Gear at Skinner's Bottom - geograph.org.uk - 182293.jpg
English: Winding Gear at Skinner's Bottom. This looks to be winding gear for a small mineshaft. It also looks to be derelict. My thanks go to Malcolm Kewn for providing the following explanation:
"This is the headgear of Wheal Concord, which was reopened in 1980, and visited by the Duke of Cornwall in 1981, who went underground during his visit. Tin output failed to reach expectations, however, and the tin market crash of 1985 proved to be the killer blow for this venture. The mine closed in 1986, hence the dereliction evident in the photo."
