Description
The engine house and attached chimney, located approximately 100 metres southwest of Maison Bleu, date from the mid- to late 19th century. The structure is built from roughly coursed limestone rubble with red brick dressings and features a slate roof. The chimney is made of red brick with yellow brick dressings, set on a roughly coursed limestone rubble base. The building has two levels, with 19th-century multi-paned casements on the front, one on either side of a boarded door, and a similar casement on the first floor at the right gable end. The chimney is square in section and has a round-headed brick arch on the left side. Although the interior could not be inspected during the last survey in December 1985, it is reported to retain its original boiler, a twin-tube Lancashire type, located in the right part of the engine house. Maison Bleu is not included in this listing.
