Description
This building is constructed of red brick, with roofs of Welsh slate as far as can be seen. Its main elevation (south) has what looks like the base of a water tank to the left. This has blocked arched openings on two floors and two small square ones above, cornice and flat roof. The fan housing, with its distinctive vertical circular shape, is in the centre. To the right is the gabled engine house with two tiers of elliptically headed iron framed windows and a circular light in the low pitched gable. The rear elevation of this section is a repeat of the front. The side elevation, facing the river Severn, has two floors of six windows as before.
The interior was not seen at resurvey. It was built to house an engine to drive the fan for ventilating the Severn Tunnel.
