Description
The calciner, now used as a store, was built by the Camborne School of Mines in 1904 and has undergone alterations. It is constructed of uncoursed granite rubble with quoins and features a slurried slate roof and a brick chimney stack. The building has a small rectangular plan oriented on an east-west axis, with the chimney attached at the west end. It is a single-storey structure with a deeply recessed window in the south wall and a hipped roof. A flue at ground level wraps around the southwest corner, leading to an arched opening on the south side of the chimney, which was under repair at the time of the survey in 1988. There is also a weatherboarded lean-to addition at the east end. This calciner is part of a uniquely complete set of turn-of-the-century tin mining buildings on the site.
