An enormous amount of work goes into the production of every scene. The filming alone can take hours for one short scene and that's before the work that takes place after the location work is done.

The calciner was a labyrinth of tunnels used for extracting arsenic from tin ore. After cooling, workers would enter the tunnels and scrape the arsenic from the walls.

There is a wealth of mining heritage and natural beauty to enjoy at Botallack. This photograph was taken from the area near the arsenic calciner.

This shiny, black bird is a member of the Crow family (Corvidae). Perched on top on a mine engine house chimney at Botallack, its body was obscured and only its head and beak could be seen. It is a Raven or a Carrion Crow (Corvus corax or Corvus corone), probably a Carrion Crow.

Other members of the crow family can be seen at Botallack including Choughs and Jackdaws.

Viewers of the latest series of Poldark will recognise these two mine engine houses. In the foreground is West Wheal Owles which featured as Wheal Leisure in the Poldark series.

West Wheal Owles is used as a filming location for Poldark. The mine becomes Wheal Leisure and in this photograph it is being transformed into Wheal Grace.
