Always worth checking any Cornish prints from around 1900 with the Royal
Institute of Cornwall archives as they have a large collection of Burrow &
Hughes prints (both keen mining photographers)
NB just came across a previous unseen set of Burrow photos of the Bristol
area and in the process of cataloguing his work locally and that of Hughes -
any other leads always welcome

Subject: [MINING-HISTORY] Tregrehan Tin Stamps, St Austell
We have just found a photo of Tregrehan Tin Stamps, St Austell supposedly
dated c. 1900 in a Batsford book on Watermills, which we have never seen
before. I am trying to i) date the photo accurately - as it looks Edwardian,
and if so one of the latest images a bal maiden and ii) locate an original
image for copyright purposes.
If anyone knows of this image, and can help with any information I would be
very grateful. The photo shows a bal maiden and the owner (a Mr. Tregilgas?)
in front of the stamps and water wheel. It is photo no 71 in 'Victorian and
Edwardian Windmills and Watermills from Old Photographs' by J. Kenneth Major
and Martin Watts 1977.
Many thanks.
Lynne
