Stamps House At Sw700500

Stamps House is an engine house built for operating stamps and winding, along with the walls of former stamps and other associated structures. It dates from the mid to late 19th century and features walls made of killas rubble with some granite dressings. The building has brick arches over the main window opening and timber lintels over some other openings, as well as a rubble chimney.

The engine house has a rectangular plan and includes a round chimney that is attached to the left-hand wall towards the rear. In front, there are slotted walls of former stamps, and to the south, there are foundation walls that likely belonged to a former whim. The structure does not have any wooden floors, roof structure, or machinery remaining.

The building stands three storeys high over a basement, with most of the original openings intact. The front wall features a tall square-headed doorway, while the rear gable wall has round-headed openings on each floor. The right-hand wall has two window openings on each floor, and the left-hand first floor window opening has been enlarged at some point. The left-hand wall also has two large openings.
