Wheal Prosper engine house
Wheal Prosper engine house
The Wheal Prosper mine was opened in 1860, producing tin and copper. The engine house is constructed of granite rubble with larger stones as quoins. It was used to pump water out of the undersea mine. The whole structure, including the chimney stack, is in an excellent condition. The engine house was acquired by the National Trust in 1969 and restored over the next two years.
