Description
The Ale and Cakes section of United Mines. This is one of the few remaining 18th century engine houses - many were demolished for Royal Engineers' explosives training in the Second World Wear before preservation laws were passed for such buildings. This engine house was built in about 1780 and housed an early 58" Boulton and Watt engine.
