High Etherley Engine pond c.20 metres west of former waggonway

Engine pond. 1825 for the Stockton and Darlington Railway. A circular pond, about 8 metres across, constructed with rubble sandstone walls. There is a small square recess on the west side and a long curved channel on the east side extending towards the line of the railway. The pond (still holding water in 2023) is fed via a stream from the west.
This rare surviving stone structure on the northern section of the railway supplied water for the boilers of the stationary steam engine powering the Etherley Inclines. The engine house, with its boiler, was just south-east of the pond. To the north of the pond is the depression of a second circular pond. The surrounding area, including the listed pond, are included in a Scheduled Monument NHLE 1480892 ‘Stockton & Darlington Railway: Etherley Inclines, summit and upper sections’. See this record for further details.
