Ventonwyn Mine

The engine house of this small mine perched on its hilltop, making it a local landmark that can be seen from miles around. The mine was worked in the 19th century, mainly for tin. In the later years of the 19th century it was incorporated into the Great Dowgas mine and finally closed down in about 1910. The shaft that this engine served was about 350 feet deep. There is a well known contemporary photograph of a group of miners posing in front of the engine house in the late 19th century.
