The engine house was built in 1875 for a 40 inch rotative engine by the Tuckingmill Foundry, Camborne. This drove stamps to either side. The gable end is on the 1906 vanner house. The wall on the right is part of the housing for a pair of Brunton calciners for roasting off arsenic. The buildings are all listed but could use a bit of 'gardening'.
