Statement of Significance
Ruins of Duke of Cornwall Mine are the ruins of presumably an engine house, erected circa 1865 for the Anglo Australian Goldmining Co. The tall, stone structure is almost square in plan and is constructed in coursed rubble with brick dressings to the various round-headed openings. There is a tall chimney, largely of stone but with a brick top section and a gable is another feature.
Ruins of the Duke of Cornwall Mine are a landmark in the district and are a most important reminder and exposition of the gold mining era which to this day has left its mark on this area. Such substantial relics of the mining era are rare and this structure is an important representation of the technological side of gold mining operations during this era. The building itself is a replica of English structures of the period and is very rare example of this rare building type.
Ruins of Duke of Cornwall Mine are substantial and the form of the structure can easily be seen.
