II
Former pump and engine house for Lightmoor Colliery, now empty.
c1840. Coursed and finely dressed rubblestone with tooled and
punched long and short quoin blocks. Hipped roof originally of
slate but timbers only remaining at time of survey (10/7/84). 3-
storeyed rectangular block with overhanging wooden eaves supported
on row of paired brackets. Roof trusses more or less intact with
King posts. East and west sides have 2 window openings on each
floor, windows missing. On south side, large arched opening with
stone voussoirs at the top of the wall, flanked by small square
opening at base. Lightmoor Colliery was sunk in c1840 and in the
mid 19th century it had an impressive range of steam power. This
engine house contained one of the larger beam engines while there
were also 2 frame beam engines and several horizontal steam
engines. They were dismantled in c1934 and the building was then
used as a store. It is now becoming derelict at time of survey
(July 1984). One beam engine from the Colliery is now on show at
the Dean Heritage Museum, on loan from the National Museum of
Wales, but this engine did not actually function in the Pump House.
