Caravans and Colliery

Caravans and Colliery
Situated 1km south west of Ruabon, and in the middle of a caravan business, is this vertical winding engine house, built 1855-6 as one of the original structures of the Wynnstay Colliery. It is listed Grade II* as an exceptionally good example of the building type which is said to be the oldest surviving architectural monument in the North Wales Coalfield. It is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

what an interesting juxtaposition, and an intriguing building - almost looks like a chapel

After a bit of thought I realised that this can't be the oldest surviving architectural monument in the North Wales Coalfield. The Penrhos enginehouse is much older.
