This was latterly an alternative access for South Crofty and closed with that mine. The derelict winding engine house contained the incomplete remains (just visible through the doorway) of a duplex steam winding engine. Built 1897 and moved here in 1924. In 2005 the remains were removed to South Crofty as part of a World heritage bid project. I have no idea what this site now looks like.
