Description

Old Whim and New Whim are two adjoining whim houses linked to the now-disused Wheal Coates mine, dating from the mid 19th century and late 19th century. They are constructed from killas rubble with timber lintels. The layout consists of two rectangular whim (winding) houses, along with the walls of a probable former boiler house on the right. The original whim house features pits for the governing of the original engine, while the later whim house at the rear left has concrete foundations from the last operated winding machinery. There are no surviving wooden floor structures, roof structures, or machinery.

The exterior includes two storeys for the Old Whim house and a single storey for the New Whim. Some walls have partially collapsed. The front wall of the Old Whim house has a small central opening, while the rear wall contains a central doorway and remnants of an opening above it. The right-hand side has a blocked central doorway.
