This takes its name from the last use of the building - it contained pumping equipment to help drain other local mines after coal ceased to be extracted here - but this was in fact the winding engine house for the Lady Pit. Once derelict, it has been sympathetically restored and converted to offices. The right hand extension is entirely modern.
