King Edward Mine - Cafe, Events Field and Engine House

King Edward Mine is the oldest, most complete mine site left in Cornwall. The entire complex is within the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site (WHS), containing 16 Grade II* Listed buildings and South Condurrow Stamps Engine House which is Grade II Listed.

This contract will carry out a major restoration and adaptation to the Assay Office, a Grade II* Listed building on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register, transforming it into a new destination café, heated using ground source heating from the Events Field. We will be consolidating the South Condurrow Stamps Engine house to the rear of the Assay Office and enhancing the Events Field once the ground source heating is installed, providing an all-weather surface for over-flow car parking and events, as well as water and electricity pick up.

There will be a second contract, carrying out works to the Boiler House, Mill and Stamps and Core Buildings which will run concurrently with this contract. Additional information: Due to file size additional information and appendices will be available via the links above from Dropbox.
