Engine House

Small 2-storey engine house of rubble stone under a slate roof. A brick stack was added to the S gable end when it was converted to a house. Detail includes large quoins and flat headed openings, mainly with long timber lintels. The entrance is to the E side, offset to the L and with no door. It is accessed from a slightly raised walkway. Timber strut at upper level towards the centre, possibly a support for an internal beam. The S gable end has a large timber lintel around 1st floor level for a former opening (the engine beam originally projected through here). This is now infilled with masonry, which appears disturbed, with stack above. To the W side is an infilled window opening with timber lintel and brick sill, offset to the R at ground floor level. The N gable end has an opening to each storey. Window with flat brick head to upper storey retaining some wooden glazing bars, beneath which is a window with long timber lintel, which was formerly a doorway. Remains of low-level extension to N gable end, possibly for a boiler.

Immediately S of the engine house and aligned with it, is the former pump shaft. It is circular and lined with stone and is now covered with a metal grille.

The entrance is next to the former 'bob' wall, through which the engine beam projected. This wall has a recess with timber lintel at ground floor level. To the R of the doorway is a straight timber staircase leading to the upper storey. The plain joists are supported on the timber lintels of the ground floor openings. The upper storey has a wood planked floor and the walls are plastered. A small brick fireplace has been inserted into the S wall. It has a segmental brick arched head and contains an iron grate. Possible socket for a cross beam in the E wall. Open roof with a purlin to each side.
