A 30-inch cylinder beam winding engine (1887,
Holman’s Foundry, Camborne) survives at Mitchell’s shaft, East
Pool Mine, and is open to the public. It was saved from being
scrapped in 1941, taken over by The National Trust in 1967 and set
back in motion again in 1975.
Taylor’s Shaft pumping
engine survives as part of a 1920s single-phase complex which
includes a winder house, compressor house, two boiler houses (one
includes foundations for Cornish boilers), flues, capstan house,
the miners’ dry, an office and the primary crushing- and
ore-loading stations. It is currently an interpretation centre for
the region’s industrial past.
