Robinson's Shaft, South Crofty Mine, Pool, Cornwall. The engine house is now at the centre of the Heartlands heritage site.

---

The shaft dates from at east 1833. In the early years of the twentieth century, the shaft was deepened and the engine house rebuilt. For some years thereafter this was the principal shaft to South Crofty. By 1967, the shaft was used for men and equipment, with ore being lifted at New Cook's Kitchen Shaft.
