Vogue (Cornish: Fog, meaning blowing house or furnace[1]) is a hamlet in the parish of St Day, Cornwall, England.[2][3]
At Vogue there was a mine called Wheal an Vogue alias Wheal an Byan, operational from the 17th century to the 19th century, and there were several stamping mills there, called Vogue Stamps, Tollan Vogue Stamps and the Lower Stamps, built circa 1700. The name Vogue itself is the Cornish word for a medieval smelting furnace or blowing house.[4][5]
