Description
Tankersley Mine Rescue Station is a mines rescue station built in 1902, with minor alterations made in the late 20th century. It was constructed for the West Yorkshire Coal Mine Owners Association. The building is made of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a slate hipped roof and a single brick stack. It is two stories tall.
The front of the building has a doorway on the left with a panel door, an overlight, and an ashlar lintel. To the right, there is a three-light cross casement window, followed by a modern casement window that replaced a former square bay window. On the upper floor, there are two three-light cross casement windows; the one on the left is set in a half-timbered gable, while the one on the right has two small casement windows in a rendered section that was originally half-timbered.
At the rear, there is a courtyard surrounded by single and two-story outbuildings on three sides, used for the storage of mines rescue equipment and transport. This building holds historical significance as the first purpose-built Coal Mines Rescue Station in England, reflecting its important associations with the coal mining industry.
