Wheal Jenkin Group Of 2 Engine Houses And One Chimney At Sx 264 712 And Sx 265 713

The Wheal Jenkin group consists of two engine houses and one chimney, located at the Wheal Jenkin copper mine, built in the late 19th century. The structures are made of granite rubble.

The engine house to the southwest is a tall building featuring granite quoins, with gable ends at both the front and rear. It has a round-arched bob-opening on one gable end, while the other gable end includes a wide round-arched opening at ground level, two narrower arched openings at the first floor, and one at the apex of the gable. The side walls have segmental-arched openings and a lean-to attached.

The northeast engine house has a doorway on the side and gable end, along with two window openings on the opposite side. The chimney is circular, made of rubble, and tapers as it rises. The site was not fully accessible at the time of the survey.
