Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake historic building recording at the Wheal Friendly enginehouse in St Agnes, Cornwall, prior to a planning submission. This work was undertaken in order to assess the fabric affected by the conversion, restoration and development. The enginehouse was built in 1902 and functioned as such until 1913, when the engine was removed. The site was later run as an adjunct to Wheal Kitty Mine in 1926-1930, but was only used for de-watering the mine via an electric pump. Attempts were made in 1907-8 to establish dressing floors on the site but these ultimately proved unsuccessful. The remaining moveable equipment was relocated between 1937 and 1941 and the site gradually fell into ruin. The enginehouse is a highly prominent GII Listed building within the St Agnes district of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site. |
