Description
The Jane Pit Engine House is a Grade II listed building located on Mossbay Road in Workington. Constructed in 1843 for the Curwen family, this engine house served the now-disused Jane Pit. It is built from hammer-dressed calciferous and pink sandstone and features a battlemented parapet and a bracketed cornice, all resting on a rectangular plinth. The structure is three stories high and has a two-bay oval tower, with a taller circular chimney located at the rear. The building includes doorways and windows at various levels, all set in weathered architraves, which are currently open and barred. The chimney has brick-arched stoke holes at its base, and the battlemented parapet below the neck of the chimney matches that of the engine house. The pumping operations at this pit ceased in 1875.
