What is recorded here

Detached square-plan former coal-mining chimney built c. 1870, with dressed limestone walls brought to courses and having dressed cornice. Nearby two-storey engine house has single-bay sides, no roof, roughly-dressed limestone walls, and round-arched door opening with slender voussoirs.
One of several chimneys in the area associated with the now defunct coal mines, this structure is an imposing feature over the surrounding landscape and a notable reminder of the industrial past of the area. It forms a group not just with the engine house beside it, but also with the other collieries in the district. The narrow voussoirs to the arched opening in the engine house are a pleasing arrangement.
