8/9 Winding engine house
at south-east corner
of King Edward Mine
GV II*
Winding engine house (or whim), now derelict. Late C19. Uncoursed granite
rubble with quoins, bob wall of large dressed blocks, brick arches to
windows; now roofless. Rectangular plan with bob wall to the north,
chimney attached at south-west corner, and boiler house at west side to
north of chimney. The bob wall has a round-headed opening with granite
voussoirs and keystone, and the south and east walls have round-headed
windows on 2 levels. The tapered cylindrical chimney has lost its brick
upper stage and now terminates below roof level. Attached to the west
side is the former boiler house, a long rectangular single-storey building on
a north-south axis, of similar materials but with a slurried slate roof, and
inserted garage doors in the south gable wall. History: probably built by
South Condurrow Mine Company before 1897 when the site was acquired by
Camborne School of Mines. The item forms part of a uniquely complete set
of turn-of-the-century tin mining buildings on this site. Reference:
