Description
The pumping-engine house at Scremerston Old Mine was built in 1840 for the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital. It is constructed from rock-faced stone and features an iron water tank on the roof. The building has three storeys and is designed with two bays. The north elevation is heavily buttressed and includes a round-headed doorway at ground level, with a partly-blocked round-headed opening above that was used for the beam of the engine.
Between the second-floor windows, there is an inscription set in a raised stone surround with a cornice above, which reads:
