Description: | The engine house for the colliery was built in 1874 and is unusually ornate, leading to it being made a Grade II Listed Building. It is notable as an early use of structural concrete. It housed a vertical twin cylinder, non-condensing steam winding engine. The colliery closed in 1967, but the engine was kept operable until 1971. | Subjects: | Pediment Engine House Quoin Colliery String Course Cornice Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Skingle, B | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
