'F' Pit Museum - colliery engine house, Albany Way (East side) - Sunderland

'F' Pit was sunk in 1777 but the engine house wasn't built until 1926. The pit closed in 1968 and the site was cleared, apart from the engine house. Representing a fine example of the winding technology used in the north east coalfield, the building re-opened as a museum in 1976. The museum continues to open to limited, seasonal, hours. However, the future of the building is uncertain and there has been no progress in preparing a condition survey.
