Description
The view from Carn Brea of the Great Flat Lode.
The Great Flat Lode is a large ore-bearing body of rock under the southern slopes of Carn Brea, south of Camborne in Mid Cornwall. It was exploited for its tin ore in the 19th century, when more than twenty engine houses were built in an area of just 1.5 square miles (3.9 km2).
