Description
The dressing plant, built around 1902 by the Camborne School of Mines and extended in 1905, is located on the south side of the stamps at King Edward Mine. It features a timber frame with corrugated galvanised sheet cladding on the sides and a corrugated asbestos sheet roof. The building has a large rectangular plan under a three-span roof oriented on an east-west axis and is a single storey. The west front is triple-gabled, with a door situated between the first and second gables, and skylights are present in the roof. Historically, it housed a Buss Table, Frue Vanner, buddle, and other equipment. This dressing plant is part of a uniquely complete set of turn-of-the-century tin mining buildings at this site.
