This authentic 1970s colour photograph captures Mitchell’s Engine House at East Pool Mine in Redruth, Cornwall, in 1975. The image provides a factual record of Cornish industrial heritage, featuring the imposing granite-built engine house with its distinctive arched windows and tall, tapered brick chimney stack. A primary focal point is the massive external winding wheel and associated machinery, which once powered the extraction process for one of the region’s most significant tin and copper mines. The structure is documented in its late-century state, showing the wooden gantry and the surrounding rugged landscape of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site. In the lower foreground, the roof of a red period vehicle is partially visible on the access track. As a self-contained archival record, this shot serves as an essential resource for industrial historians and collectors of vintage Cornwall photography.
