The Mine Engine House that Nature Reclaimed

The engine house for Jope's Shaft is the best preserved example of the South Caradon mining district. Now covered in ivy, nestled among trees, the engine house seems to emerge from nature itself.
The shaft underneath the engine house was opened in the 1850s, with the engine house opening a decade later. The mine closed in 1885 during the decline of Cornish mining - many of those who would have worked on the site emigrated to other mining districts in Australia, South Africa and the Americas.

Thank you. ☺️ it’s one of my favourite places to fly and this mine has always intrigued me. You used to be able to crawl from under the chimney, underground, to the floor of the engine house.

Nice Stu - the chimneys are like the one I filmed in my Jenny Browns Point video.

[@StuFliesAroundCornwall]

Thanks Paul. Yes the chimney does look very similar to your Jenny Brown’s Point video (great footage, btw) - I wonder if they were built around the same time?

[@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos]

​@StuFliesAroundCornwall The 1780's for kine, so a little earlier than these.
