The Prince of Wales Engine House and Houseman’s Engine House (formerly Minions Heritage Centre) have shaped the skyline on the south-eastern edge of Bodmin Moor for many generations.

These historic buildings form part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site and have long been a source of pride for local people. Their striking silhouettes are powerful reminders of Cornwall’s mining past and the communities whose lives were shaped by it.

Following their recent transfer into the care of Cornwall Heritage Trust, plans are now being developed to secure their long-term future and explore how the sites can best be shared with the community.

To help us shape these plans, we’re inviting members of the public to join our team for a special community consultation day. You will have the opportunity to share your thoughts, ideas and suggestions for how the engine houses could be used, interpreted and developed in the years ahead.

Refreshments will be available, and members of Cornwall Heritage Trust’s staff will be on hand throughout to answer your questions and gather feedback.

This consultation has been funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. We’re hugely grateful for its support.
