Pennance Consols pump engine house, Lanner (abstract 4)

Grade II listed.

 

"Pennance Consols sits just between Lanner and Redruth at the bottom of Carn Marth. Not a lot remains of this beauty whose origins date back as far as 1836. This mine was a pretty small working, employing only four people at its start, and not having an engine house built until 1866. Pennance Consols was originally known as Wheal Amelia, but this name was changed in 1850 to Pennance Consols, a name it worked under until it’s closure sometime before 1874. It was briefly reworked as part of the Wheal Buller sett during 1880-81 as East Wheal Buller." (explorecornwall.org/pennance-consols/)
