Engine House

Wheal Unity Wood (Tolgullow United Mine; West Poldice Mine), St Day, Gwennap area, Camborne - Redruth - St Day District, Cornwall, England, UK

Another engine house close to Magor's Shaft. This probably housed an engine to power stamps and to wind. (The mound behind the engine house probably confirms this).
