Description
The Meerbrook Sough Engine House is a former engine house dating from around the mid-19th century. It is constructed from limestone rubble with dressed quoins and lintels, topped with a plain tile roof featuring gabled ends. The building stands two storeys high and has various openings, including some with round arched heads, as well as a doorway with an arched head. There are stone stairs leading to a west door on the first floor.
This engine house is historically significant as it was associated with the operation of the Meerbrook Sough, which was built to drain the Meerbrook lead mine. It is noted to be the earliest of the remaining winding houses in Derbyshire. The engine was removed around 1870.
