Full Description
Pindale or Ashton's Mine pumping engine house and square chimney (see plan - Authority 7), still survive at Pindale Farm. An agreement, dated 1743, to drive a drainage sough may indicate that the sough was in operation during the following decade. In 1800-1802 the mine was producing more lead than Odin Mine. (3,9)
The Pindale Engine House stood adjacent to the chimney of the mine. (4)
'Mine (dis)' is marked on the 1976 OS map. (6)
The mine chimney & engine house are complete and in good condition, with the shaft adjacent. The building has been restored and pointed. It is now the only complete dual winding and pumping engine house left in the Park and one of the very few left anywhere in the country in good condition. (12)
