Description
The engine house and attached chimney date to circa 1870. Constructed of roughly coursed slate stone with red brick dressings, it features a slate roof. Largely covered in ivy at the time of resurvey in November 1987, the building has a rectangular plan with a circular chimney attached to the north-east corner. The north gable end has a round-headed opening on each of the three storeys, while the south gable end has a round-headed opening on the ground floor. The east side primarily has round-headed openings, contrasting with the rectangular openings on the west side. The chimney is topped with red brick and a moulded capping, and includes a stoke-hole at its base. Internally, the engine house retains a stone block associated with the engine. A deep open shaft is located immediately to the south. Broadgate Mine, established on the site of an 18th-century mine, primarily extracted copper and was in operation from 1870 to 1878.
