Chimneys Smoking again on the Great Flat Lode

South Wheal Frances

21 mine chimneys were set alight on 30th June along the Great Flat Lode as part of the Mineral Tramways Imagineering week of activities. At 8pm the 21 mine chimneys were set alight by members of the Smokin' Chimneys Project. Dried hay was used at the base of the mine chimneys near Carn Brea in West Cornwall.

Over 5,000 people turned up to witness the spectacle funded by the heriage lottery. Well done to all concerned.
