Os maps of 1886 and 1906 show works, which had expanded between those two dates. A "chimney" is labelled on 1886 map, and an aqueduct on 1906 25" map. See worksheet for diagram (griffiths).
RICHARDSON, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV96591.
The tramway referred to by hamilton jenkin is more likely the one leading e from the deep adit to the stamps and dump (crf:sx77ne/24/2). Furthermore, 20' seems a more likely diam for the waterwheel. The calciners and stack are still there however (richardson).
