Description

The engine house, located to the north-east of Glenfield House, was built around 1875 for an iron-ore mine. It is constructed from rock-faced red sandstone with a limestone plinth and dressings. The structure features a three-stage square tower, which is now semi-ruined. The plinth has large quoins, and on the south-east side, there is an impost band above a narrow round-arched opening with limestone voussoirs. The opposite side has a larger round arch in sandstone beneath a broad opening that has collapsed limestone lintels. On the south-west side, there are two doorways beneath a rectangular opening, all featuring limestone lintels. The third stage of the tower is incomplete. This engine house served the Stank No.2 pit, which was developed between 1873 and 1876 and abandoned in January 1901 due to severe flooding issues.
