Description

The secondary engine house for winding at Skelton Park, built in 1870 for Bell Brother's iron mine, is a disused structure that was modified around 1910 to accommodate the winding of the upcast shaft. It is constructed from high-quality rockfaced sandstone ashlar with margined dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. There are fragmentary remains of timber sash windows and other joinery.

This single-storey building has a single cell layout, with the winding drum located on the western side, positioned equidistant between the upcast and downcast shafts, which are approximately 20 meters to the southwest and northeast, respectively. The western side of the building consists of three bays and is symmetrical, featuring a central door flanked by windows. The northern side, facing the downcast shaft, includes openings for winding ropes, with the upper opening accessed through a dormer in the hipped roof. To the left, there are two windows, with the far left originally being a doorway. The southern side, which faces the upcast shaft, has one window and a large, blocked rope-hole that was inserted around 1910. The eastern side contains a single doorway and window. Inside, the space is primarily occupied by a large engine bed that forms the floor.
