    Explore the Tolgus Tin Mill & Tolgus Exhibition

    You can explore the Tolgus Mill (free entry), Cornwall’s only remaining Victorian tin mill and be whisked back to the past in this unforgettable heritage site (check online to join a free tour!). For a number of years we have been regenerating the mill to once again produce tin, which we now combine with silver and gold to create unique jewellery pieces that will keep our proud Cornish heritage alive for generations.

    We are lucky enough to be the custodians of this ancient Mill, in which tin is processed to be added to our jewellery. It's the last working tin streaming mill of its kind and we are delighted to invite you to discover the processes, the machines, artefacts and human stories attached to our rich Cornish heritage.

    Months of research, unveiling treasures and discovering what it was really like to work at Tolgus 100 years ago, all in the name of passion for our Mill, Tolgus, and its sustainable regeneration.
