South Wheal Phoenix

South Phoenix Mine, including Greenhill Mine and formerly known as Wheal Prosper, lies just to the south of Phoenix United Mine and north of Minions Village, in the Caradon Mining District. The engine house over Houseman's Shaft housed a 50-inch pumping engine and was built in 1881 and was named in honour of the Company Chairman. The engine was sold on in 1895. Following the closure of the mine the engine house was converted into a residential property and the opening for the beam on the “bob wall” sealed and windows incorporated along with a domestic style chimney. Today the building houses the ‘Minins Heritage Centre’.
