Turbine House To South Of Crackenthorpe Hall

The turbine house, dated 1912, is located to the south of Crackenthorpe Hall. It is constructed from snecked, squared rubble with quoins and features a graduated slate roof with projecting eaves. The building has two storeys and is positioned across a small stream, with the entrance at the upper level. Above the door, there is a panel displaying a coat of arms, which is set beneath a pointed hoodmould. Each side wall and the end wall have a single two-light mullioned window. On the west side, there is an initialled datestone in Roman numerals set into the wall below the window. This structure is an early example of a purpose-built facility for the private generation of electricity by turbine, although the machinery is no longer in place.
