Part of the former North Hendre Lead Mine, which was one of the most productive in the area, operating until 1938. The CADW listing (Grade II) suggests that this engine house was probably built in 1896, the date on the adjacent chimney http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6149966 . Other sources indicate that it was built in 1917 to house electric pumps, but the building is shown on the 1912 edition (surveyed 1910) of the 1:2500 OS map.
