Fanhouse and associated structures at Skelton Park disused iron mine

The fanhouse and associated structures at Skelton Park, built in 1882 for Bell Brother's Skelton Park iron mine, are notable industrial buildings.

The fanhouse features a brick shaft with sandstone lacing bands, a concrete fan room, an évasée (a squat square chimney for expelling spent air), and rendered brick engine rooms. The fan room is located on the northern side of the shaft, with the engine rooms to the east and the évasée to the north. The airlock room, which provides access to the shaft, wraps around the southern and western sides of the shaft.

The circular extension at the top of the shaft stands nearly 10 meters tall and has a diameter of 4.5 meters. The fan room is a tall, windowless space that is currently roofless, featuring a large opening into the shaft and the évasée. A low bricked-up opening in the western wall is believed to have served as an air intake, allowing airflow to be reversed in case of a fire in the downcast shaft. The northern wall of the évasée has an opening for the winding ropes connecting the top of the shaft to the Secondary Winding House.

The airlock room is a single-storey building that is well lit by large window openings. It has double doors in the western wall directly opposite a now-blocked opening into the shaft, with another blocked opening on the southern side. The flat roof of this room is mostly missing.

The fan engine was originally housed in a single-storey building with a pent roof, which has lost most of its slate covering. Initially a single room, it was divided into two and extended to the north when the fan was converted to electricity. The structure still retains its engine-bed and has blocked openings leading to the fan room.
