General consensus is that this engine house was built in the latter half of the 19th Century when mining was restarted in the Danescombe Valley. It housed a 30 or 40 inch Cornish beam engine for pumping and crushing equipment. It is now holiday accommodation after repair and conversion by the Landmark Trust.
