Dolcoath Mine, Cornwall - April 13, 1990

New East Shaft engine house contained a rotative beam engine. A secondary beam pumped water from adit level to provide a supply for the ore dressing floors. A new steam winder was installed in 1894 which resulted in the house being abandoned. In 1913 the house was converted to an electricity substation. The pipes inserted in the gable ends of the building were provided for the power lines to enter the building to connect with a transformer inside.
