buildings from the Middle Engine

the Elms
- II
Engine house of rotative beam engine, foundations of horse whim house, and
weighbridge house. Buildings date from 1792-1837. Sandstone rubble, engine
house has large quoins and plain tiled roof. Engine house of rectangular plan,
formerly used for pumping by means of a drive shaft which emerged through the
wall; engine house was formerly used as a water tower and is taller than it was
originally. Foundations of horse whim house, about 1 1/2 metres high, about
3 metres north of engine house, used for winding during the sinking of the shaft
and later for maintenance. Weighbridge house, small rectangular rubble building
(overgrown with ivy at time of survey March 1985) about 30 metres to north. Map
prepared by the Royal Engineers in 1830 showed the pit as 'Old Nailsea Pit' with
workings 200 feet deep; Middle Engine Pit probably worked the Whites and Dungy
seams over an area extending from the Trendlewood quarries to the lane down
Golden Valley, and from Nailsea Park and Station Road to Trendlewood.
