Blowing house and mill at Gobbet is a post-medieval industrial monument located in Devon, England. The site comprises the remains of a tin-working establishment, likely dating to the sixteenth or seventeenth century, when such installations were integral to Devon's mining economy. The blowing house, which housed the bellows and furnace apparatus used in tin smelting, worked in conjunction with a mill, reflecting the dual industrial functions required for ore processing. The surviving structural remains testify to the technological practices and landscape exploitation characteristic of early modern metal extraction in the South West.
