Ding Dong - Interesting name. Any history why the area is called that?

It's from the tin mine, but I don't know why the mine itself was called that. The engine house with its chimney is a very prominent landmark near Nine Maidens and visible from lots of other places in Penwith.

Wiki has this about the mine and its name: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ding_Dong_mines
