Description
The Engine House of the former Tyne Main Colliery, built around 1820, is a robust rectangular structure made of coursed sandstone with battered walls. It features a narrow round-arched entrance at one end. This building housed an 180 horsepower engine designed by Thomas Easton, which was installed in 1820 to pump water out of the mine. At the time, it was the most powerful engine on Tyneside, capable of moving one and a half million gallons of water per day.
