Do you know whether any archaeological work is taking place - it really ought to be happening at the time of clearance - when most damage to delicate structures such as hotwell boxes can inadvertently be done. Does the District Council's conservation officer/Cornwall County Council Archaeology Service know what's going on?

Both buildings are still in very good condtion, although overgrown. Walls appear full height, lintels in place, though well rotton. The pumping engine house floor inaccessable due to the collapse of the farmers Galvanised roofing, and farm debris/ stores still lie around. The ground around is overgrown, so once the builders move in the site may well be cleared to a stage to reveal much more, before the "beauty treatement" starts.
