Summary

Description
English: The Botallack Mine Count House The two storey building was originally built as the mine count house. The count house was the mine office where all the financial work was done overseen by the mine purser. Outside of this building, once a month, the miners would bid in a Dutch auction to work pitches in the mine, the lowest bidder for each pitch got to work it for the next month. The count house was also the venue for meetings of the mine adventurers, people we would call investors nowadays.
