Description
The fan house and chimney at the former New Hawne Colliery is a coal pit fan house built in 1865. It is constructed of red brick with white brick dressings and has a slate roof. This single-storey building is a rare example of a structure that housed a once-common Guibal fan, making it unique as the earliest surviving instance of large-scale surface induced ventilation used in a Black Country colliery. The fan house has a squat appearance, featuring a round-arched window opening with white brick voussoirs. It has a slate roof and parapets at the gabled ends. Adjoining the fan house is a square chimney that has a cornice supported by shaped brick corbels and recessed, cambered-headed panels on one side. The building is currently disused and partly in ruins. The fan house and chimney, along with the winding engine house and other structures at the former New Hawne Colliery, form a significant group. Due to a survey by English Heritage, the rarity of this type of building has been recognized, leading to its upgrade to a grade II* listing.
