Description
CARN BREA TRESKILLARD SW 63 NE 8/175 Winding engine house to Smith's shaft of West Frances Mine at SW 672 391
GV II Winding engine house to former tin mine, now derelict. Probably later C19. Uncoursed killas rubble with granite quoins, bob wall of large dressed granite blocks, window arches of brick, brick upper stage to chimney. Rectangular plan on north-east/south-west axis, with bob wall to north-east, chimney attached at south-west corner. Small building of only 2 stages, with round-headed openings including driver's window in bob wall, damaged window in west side wall. Tapered cylindrical chimney, apparently intact, with no cornice between stone and brick stages. History: believed to have operated stamps also. The only visible remains on this formerly busy site, and although now standing in mournful isolation, forms a visual link in the middle of a chain of engine houses remaining along the line of the Great Flat Lode.
