Description

The dry house, also known as a miners' changing room, and the attached carpenter's shop, located immediately to the east of the Count House at King Edward Mine, date from the late 19th century and have been altered. The buildings feature pebble-dashed render, likely over rubble, and have corrugated sheet roofs on two levels. Both structures are rectangular in plan, with the carpenter's shop being smaller. The dry house is two storeys high and has four bays. It includes a doorway in the first bay and a lean-to porch added to the third bay. The ground floor has two windows with altered glazing, while the first floor features a 12-pane sash window in the first bay and 6-pane top-hung casements in the other bays. The carpenter's shop, located to the right, is a single storey with three bays and has altered openings. The interior has not been inspected. Historically, the dry house and carpenter's shop originally belonged to South Condurrow Mine and were acquired around 1897 by the Camborne School of Mines, being renamed King Edward Mine in 1901. They are now part of a uniquely complete set of turn-of-the-century mine buildings on this site.
