Dry house and attached
carpenter's shop immediately to
east of Count House (etc) at
King Edward Mine


GV
II*


"Dry" house (or miners' changing room) with attached carpenter's shop,
now store (?). Late C19, altered. Pebble-dashed render probably on rubble,
corrugated sheet roofs on 2 levels. Both elements rectangular in plan, the
carpenter's shop smaller. The dry is 2 storeys and 4 bays, with a doorway
to the 1st bay and a lean-to porch added to the 3rd; the 2 windows at
ground floor have altered glazing, that in the 1st bay at 1st floor is a 12-
pane sash and the others are 6-pane top-hung casements. The carpenter's
shop to the right is one storey and 3 bays, with altered openings. Interior
not inspected. History: originally belonged to South Condurrow Mine,
acquired c.1897 by Camborne School of Mines, re-named King Edward Mine
in 1901, and now part of a uniquely complete set of turn-of-the-century
mine buildings on this site. Reference: A.W.Brooks, op.cit.
