Abstract: |
King Edward Mine (KEM) was established in the late 19th century on the site of the former South Condurrow mine site as the Camborne School of Mines training mine, and was used as such until relatively recently. It was taken over by Cornwall Council, who assisted in its conversion into a mining heritage centre. The site has recently been the subject of a major conservation programme. It site is largely staffed by Trevithick Society volunteers. Cornwall Archaeological Unit was commissioned by King Edward Mine to carry out a record of structures uncovered during excavations carried out by KEM volunteers in two areas at the mine: at a small Brunton arsenic calciner and a next to a wall of the boiler house associated with the South Condurrow stamps engine house. The calciner lies to the south west of the South Condurrow stamps engine house where it, and associated flues connecting it with a now-demolished chimney to the north, were constructed. The second area was focussed on the eastern end of the demolished stamps boiler house, adjacent to the cobbled floor of a walled yard. |
