Miners' changing room or "dry" at former tin mine, now derelict. 1908, for
Basset Mines Ltd., altered and now very dilapidated. Uncoursed rubble with
granite quoins, brick arches to openings; now roofless. Large rectangular plan on
east-west axis, with short wing on south side. One storey; right-hand end of
front wall collapsed, and several of remaining front windows damaged; original
doorway not detectable. History: when built as new changing rooms during
general improvements to this mine, it was described as "second to none in the
county". Reference: Palmer & Neaverson op.cit.

Cornwall, closed in 1918; included for group value.
