Description
The mine buildings, located approximately 400 metres east-north-east of Batters Engine House, date from the 1860s and are likely the remains of a winding engine house, an adjoining boiler house, and a drying house. Constructed from killas rubble with dressed granite and featuring brick arches over the openings, part of the structure has a corrugated iron roof, particularly over the probable boiler house and drying house. The overall plan is T-shaped, with the probable boiler house and drying house at the front and the remains of the engine house projecting from the middle of the rear. The boiler house stands two storeys tall, while the engine house has been reduced to about 4 to 5 metres in height. The east front of the boiler house is symmetrical, featuring three windows and three doorways on the ground floor, along with three round-arched window openings above. The left-hand gable end wall has two wide round-arched openings at the ground floor and three blocked round-arched openings above. Inside, there is a scissor-braced roof structure over part of the left side and various niches. There is no surviving machinery.
