MenuWheal Betsy, Devon
Wheal Betsy is a 19th-century engine pumping house situated on Kingsett Down, Dartmoor, Devon. Built from locally quarried and roughly dressed granite in 1868 to house a Cornish beam pumping engine, the engine house remained in use until the mine closed in 1877. The engine house survives as a roofless narrow rectangular three storied building with its high pitched gable end wall, side walls, front bob wall and an immediately adjacent circular chimney all standing to full height. The engine house is surrounded by other mining remains. The engine house is in the care of the National Trust. It is within the council area of West Devon (Devon).
