Full Description
Agent's house to Lathkill Dale Mining Company. James Bateman was agent from 1836, until closure of the mine in 1842. Two shafts beneath the house are known as Bateman's shafts, the correct names are unknown. This is the site of the 'disc engine', a primitive turbine pumping engine by the Dakyur (?) brothers, flax spinners of Darley Dale, part of which, at least, was made by the Adelphi Foundary in Chesterfield in 1831. The engine was referred to as working satisfactorily in 1833. (1-4).
