    Towanroath Shaft pumping engine house was built in 1872, housing a steam engine that pumped water from a shaft that went 185 metres deep - well below sea level.
    After Wheal Coates was abandoned in 1914, the engine house perched dramatically on the cliff was restored by the National Trust in 1973.
