Description
The pump engine house for Wheal Peevor mine, located at SW 708 442, is a derelict structure likely built in the 1870s. It is constructed from uncoursed granite and killas rubble, featuring a bob wall and corners made of large granite blocks. The window arches are made of brick, and there is a brick upper stage to the chimney, which is currently roofless. The building has a rectangular plan aligned on a north-south axis, with the bob wall situated to the south and the chimney attached at the north-west corner. It consists of three stages and includes round-headed openings, such as a driver's window in the bob wall and a large cylinder door in the rear wall. The tapered cylindrical chimney lacks cornices and shows slight damage at the top. This structure was likely built for reworking the mine between 1872 and 1889, with operations ceasing in 1918. It is the largest in a striking group of buildings on this site.
