An unusually large engine house. In 1859 the building was fitted with an 1846 Harvey 85" engine, moved from Wheal Vor Trelawney's Shaft, and it is said that the engine house was also moved stone by stone. It has been suggested that this event was the origin of the name 'Pulldown'. Grade II Listed http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-65729-engine-house-at-sw628298-ivey-s-shaft-whe
