Engine and Compressor House

The Engine and Compressor House is a Grade II listed building constructed with regularly coursed slate slabs and some roughly coursed rubblestone. It features a slate roof with a purple brick stack on the long wall at the front. The building has a rectangular plan, with lean-tos attached to the left gable end and the front right, the latter serving as the compressor house. There is a boarded door and a six-paned window on the right gable end of the engine house. This structure is associated with a collapsed blondin ropeway system.

Inside the engine house, there are winding drums operated by a Bruce Peebles 3-phase motor from 1906, which is connected through reduction gearing. The motor, control mechanism, and liquid controller are still present. The compressor house contains an electric motor along with a horizontal single-cylinder Ingersoll Sargeant air compressor and a receiving chamber.
