Consolidated Mines
GV II
Beam engine house ruin. Circa early C19. Killas rubble walls with dressed granite
quoins, jambstones and voussoirs. Mostly timber lintels. Rectangular single-cell
plan with thicker bob wall to north east. Originally with 3 floors. Bob wall 2
floors high has ground floor doorway with segmental granite arch with projecting
keystone. Smaller segmental external arch splayed internally to larger round-headed
rear arch. This is a design feature for maximum load bearing, with the knowledge
that the inner arch has greater abutment due to the linked mass of the return walls.
North west wall fairly intact, has ground floor window opening spanned by large
granite lintel but other openings have timber lintels, except south west wall with
large door opening spanned by round-headed brick arch. Part of walling of gable end
survives above. South east wall is half-fallen.
Detached chimney on higher ground to south (see separate item). Very similar in
design but probably slightly earlier than: Engine House, Consolidated Mines qv.
