II
Engine house at former china clay works. Late C19. Granite rubble and brick.
Unusually large rectangular plan engine house, with circular chimney at front right corner; there is a deep channel running directly away from the rear of the engine house. This engine house was used for pumping from the china clay pit; it worked on a system of flat rods through a tunnel to the pit. The channel running away from the rear of the engine house housed this machinery. The front wall of the engine house has a round arched opening at upper level, with, granite cill, which serves as a lintel for the lower door. To right, the chimney is circular, tapered, about 4 metres in diameter at the base, with a round-arched inspection hole with brick head at the base. Lower stage of the chimney in granite rubble, brick collar and upper stage continued in brick, with cornice. The left side
has 3 round-arched openings with brick surrounds at upper ground floor level,
partially demolished. The rear bob wall has round-arched opening; inside, a pit
towards the rear of the engine house. To the rear, off centre from the arched
opening, a deep channel running away at right angles from the engine house.
