4/92 Consolidated Mines, Clocktower
21.11.85
GV II
Clocktower. Circa early C19. Killas rubble with granite quoins, jambstones,
voussoirs and copings.
Round tapered tower over octagonal base. Clock removed or fallen. Round-headed
doorway to west. Square section granite string over basement. About 1/3 way up from
base is narrowed round-headed opening to west and to east. Ovolo-moulded collar or
coping to top of tower. Lightning conductor to south.
Interior is smoke-blackened over the rubble walls so possibly has been used as a
flue. Wooden first floor in situ. Holes at intervals to wall for former stair.
This unique tower stands complete except for upper timber work; surviving from mining
complex which reached it zenith in the 1830's. Consols was this time the most
productive mine in Cornwall.
