Salisbury Engine House and Chimney of the Marke Valley Mine The Marke Valley Mine, including at various times Wheal Jenkin and West Rosedown Mine. There are four main shafts including Fawcett Shaft (located in Leymill Wood), Engine Shaft (with a 36-inch pumping engine installed over it), Child's Shaft (with an 18-inch winding engine installed) and Salisbury Shaft (Its engine house housing a 70-inch pumping engine in 1855, later moved to Bellingham's Shaft). After a slow start at Marke Valley, production increased steadily. Its total recorded output being in the region of 130,000 tons of relatively low grade copper ore at 4%. Just west of Salisbury Shaft lay West Rosedown Mine - itself part of Wheal Jenkin from the 1830's when they were worked as Cornwall Great United. In 1845 the mine was in the ownership of Caradon Great Consols. Marke Valley Mine was quite significant in the Caradon area and the decision was taken to run the nearby Mineral railway to it by means of a branch line. This was completed in 1877. As the copper production declined, the mine switched production to tin.
