The South Phoenix Mine Engine House, built in 1881, served as a copper, tin and manganese mine in the 19th century. The mine was finally abandoned in 1911. The engine house has since been refurbished and now houses the Minions Heritage Centre (as of May 2024, the centre's website states that it is permanently closed) This engine house is one of many on the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape".
