Description

MATERIALS: GWR contrasting red and purple engineering brick and stone dressings.

DESCRIPTION: six circular, battered shafts, constructed of engineering brick laid in English bond, with machicolations and castellated parapet. The stepped machicolation corbels and the steeply pitched coping are stone. The shafts vary in height from c. 4 to c. 8m.

The shafts rise from a pastoral landscape. Each adjoins a spoil heap, sometimes with a levelled top and the alignment of a tramway along which trucks carrying spoil were wheeled away from the shafthead.
