Description
Brittains Colliery Engine House is an engine house built around 1848. It is constructed of red brick with blue brick dressings and features a slate roof with wide eaves. The building is single storey and has two bays. Each side includes two semi-circular headed windows with Gothick traceried metal windows, which are currently boarded up, and projecting stone sills. The north gable wall has a similar semi-circular headed window in the center, with a plank door below a stone lintel to the left, and a small square opening above the window to the left. The interior has been gutted. Brittains Colliery was established by the Butterley Company between 1845 and 1848 and was in operation for over 50 years.
