Peacock's Chimney Stack was used during the prosperous years of the copper mines.
Peacock’s Chimney was constructed in 1857 on a site within the present open cut area. It provided updraught for the boilers at Peacocks Engine house, named after William Peacock, a SAMA director.
Peacock’s Chimney Stack was re sited in 1971, following an appeal by the National Trust of South Australia.
