Grade II* listed Scott's Pit Engine House, Swansea
Viewed from Gwernllwynchwyth Road. The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales website states that Scott's Pit was sunk in 1817-19 by a London solicitor, John Scott. After it proved unremunerative, Scott and his partners sold it to the local landowner, C.H.Smith, who worked it until c1842.
In 1872 the engine house was recommissioned, but only for pumping and draining the newly-developed Cae Pridd colliery. It remained in use for this purpose, intermittently and with a succession of owners, until 1930. The main surviving feature is the engine house seen here. It was restored in 1976-1980 and taken into the possession of Swansea City Council. In addition there are the foundations of a haystack boiler (c1820) and of a Cornish boiler (c1872), the foundations of a stack for furnace ventilation and the site of the 150m (500ft) deep shaft, now capped in concrete. A tramroad ran from Scott's Pit to a shipping place at White Rock. The site has been restored and is open to the public.
Grade II* listed in 2003.
