Houseman's Shaft engine house. Built in 1881 to house a 50-inch pumping engine made by the Bedford Foundry at Tavistock, it later pumped from the nearby Prosper Shaft using flat-rods. South Wheal Phoenix started in 1847 and was abandoned in 1893. The house had the bob wall extended with two windows and a domestic chimney in 1919 in an attempt to convert it to living accommodation. Today it is used as an office for the Countryside warden. |
