Description

The Engine House between shafts 1 and 2 at Ashington Woodhorn Colliery was built around 1900. It is constructed from yellow Ashington brick and features gauged arches over the doors and windows, topped with a metal-sheet roof. This rectangular, single-storey building has a south elevation with four bays, each defined by pilasters that rise to stepped and cogged eaves cornices. The façade includes an inserted doorway and round-arched windows, with one window blocked and the others fitted with radial heads and metal-framed casements. The left side of the building has a casement window beneath a timber lintel, while the rear features round-arched windows with metal-framed casements. Inside, the original Jack Engine, which served as a power source auxiliary to the main winders, is still present.
