The mill has been described as a national treasure. An authentic and unique mill which for hundreds of years processed tin ore. After full commercial production ceased, the mill was conserved and preserved by various groups, including Madame Tussauds and the Trevithick Trust.
The mill continues to be presented as one of the most important industrial heritage sites in Cornwall and attracts considerable interest from mining historians worldwide.
