East Pool Mine is a tin and copper mine located near Redruth in Cornwall, representing the intensive mineral extraction that characterised the Cornish mining industry from the eighteenth century onwards. The site is notable for its substantial engine houses and associated industrial infrastructure, which date primarily to the nineteenth century and reflect the technological developments in deep mining during that period. The mine's landscape features the characteristic mine shafts, spoil heaps, and stone-built structures typical of Cornish hard-rock mining operations. East Pool Mine forms part of the wider Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, recognised for its outstanding contribution to industrial heritage and its demonstration of the tin and copper mining practices that sustained Cornwall's economy and influenced global mining technology.
