Summary edit
| Description |
English: Combe Martin: Williams Shaft engine house The remains of the bob wall and basement levels - necessary due to the sloping ground - of the engine house built to pump the 27 fathom [162 ft] deep Williams Shaft, sited midway between Old Combmartin Mine, downslope and Harriss Shaft, upslope. The steam engine was a 50 cylinder, manufactured by the Cornish Copper Co, Hayle, and was set to work in March 1837. It pumped at 10 strokes a minute to fork [de-water] mines in the parish so that they could continue to be worked for the local silver-lead ores at depth for the next ten years. Directors shaft [at SS 588643] was pumped using flat rods linked to the balance bob at this site. The engine was later installed at Golden Mine in Cornwall.[More information can be found in Exmoors Industrial Archaeology, Exmoor Books, 1997, in a chapter written by Peter Claughton] |
