New Engine Mine Engine House

The New Engine Mine Engine House, now functioning as a barn, is an early 19th-century engine house associated with a lead mine. It is constructed from coursed gritstone rubble with gritstone dressings and quoins, topped by a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and features irregular openings.

On the east gable wall, there is a timber doorcase with a lintel, above which is an unglazed window also with a timber lintel. Higher up in the gable, there is a wide timber lintel with two small openings at either end, one of which on the south side is now blocked. Above this, there is a rock-faced stone lintel with no opening.

The south elevation has a central, partly blocked window opening with a timber lintel, and above it to the west is a similar opening. To the east, there is a blocked doorcase located under the eaves. The north wall is blank and attached to its base are two brick vaulted chambers.

Inside, the building features a sawn timber king post roof with a very large tie beam designed for lifting heavy weights. The base of a demolished chimney is located to the southwest. This structure is listed for its historic interest as an unusual survival of an early industrial building.
