Engine House and Chimney at Jope's Shaft

The engine house and chimney at Jope's Shaft, built around 1864, are located at the South Caradon Mine. The structure is made of granite rubble with granite quoins and brick dressings. The rectangular engine house features a rear gable end facing south and a front gable end facing north, with the remains of an attached rectangular building. A detached chimney, approximately 10 meters to the northeast, is connected to the engine house by an underground flue.

The north gable end of the engine house has a wide round arch at the ground floor, a narrow arch above, two small square openings higher up, and a round-arched opening in the gable apex. The left side includes a window with a flat granite lintel at ground level, two round-arched openings on the first floor, and another window at the upper right with a flat granite lintel. The right side has a doorway with a flat granite lintel and a round-arched window on the first floor. The rear gable end, known as the bob wall, features a round-arched window at ground level with a splayed reveal internally and an upper bob opening that spans the entire width of the building. There are also trench and side walls to the southeast of the bob wall.

Inside, there is an engine pit at the rear gable end. The remains of the rectangular building attached to the west have a chimney about 3 meters from its north gable end. The chimney is circular in plan, tapered, and has an inspection hole at the base, also connected by an underground flue to the engine house. Jope's Shaft served as an extension of the South Caradon Mine, which was sunk in 1864, and a man-engine was installed by 1868. The mine was closed in 1885.
