About East Pool Mine
East Pool mine was a metalliferous mine in the Camborne and Redruth mining area, just east of the village of Pool in Cornwall, England. Worked from the early 18th century until 1945, first for copper and later tin, it was very profitable for much of its life. Today the site has two preserved beam engines and is part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site.
This is a painting of Michell's Shaft Engine House which contains the last beam whim engine to be installed in Cornwall. It has a cylinder of 30 inches (0.76 m) diameter and was built in 1887 by Holman Brothers. It cost £675 and was designed to run at 27 strokes per minute and have a winding speed of 1,000 feet per minute (5.1 m/s). The engine was saved from being scrapped in 1941; it has been in the care of the National Trust since 1967 and since 1975 is still run on occasions.
This painting is on a narrow canvas and is ready to hang or can be framed. It is also available as a giclee print (£45) - please visit the 'Print Room'. If you would like this image as a limited edition (£110) print, please contact me for details or visit my personal website www.innocentart.co.uk
