About East Pool Mine
Cornwall’s mines were once among the most important in the world, and the Camborne and Redruth area was at their heart. East Pool Mine, cared for by the National Trust, preserves two huge beam engines that pumped water and raised ore from deep below ground.
Taylor’s Shaft engine is one of the largest surviving Cornish beam engines, and the site is part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site.
