Description
CHRISTOW SX 88 SW 5/72 Octagonal ventilation shaft about 140 metres south of Canonteign Barton GV II Octagonal ventilation shaft at Wheal Exmouth lead and barytes mine. 1853. Stone rubble with granite ashlar quoins. Tall tapering octagonal shaft, battered at the base and incomplete at the top in an unusually ornamental style to match the adjacent engine house. Wheal Exmouth, operating from the 1850s to 1880 employed 70 underground workers in 1863. The site of the mine was visible from Canonteign House (q.v.), the Exmouth seat built in 1828 but later screened from it by tree planting. The ornate style was presumably employed for the sake of the view from Canonteign House.
