This is just the western end of the mine, originally called Wheal Malkin. There are two more engine houses to the east, Ishmael's and Tredinnick, which are part of the mine. There have been at least two other pumping engines on the mine at different times, one stamping engine and one more whim. In the 1770s a windmill was used for pumping. Richard Trevithick was the engineer here from about 1796, for a few years.

Many Thanks.
