Geocache Description:

Wherever you go in Cornwall you will find an engine house. Tin and copper have been mined in Cornwall from ancient times and there are many many mines left standing today.

This cache is set in Wheal Grenville, Troon which was Built in 1892.

The mines of Wheal Grenville lie to the south east of Camborne on the western extremity of the Great Flat Lode.

The building housed a 90-inch cylinder beam engine used to pump water from Fortescue's shaft.

The short stack was originally taller, but was damaged in a lightening strike in 1897.

The mine was closed in 1920.
