SO 61 SW RUSPIDGE SPEECH HOUSE ROAD (south side)
Former Pump House at Lightmoor 5/124 Works (J. Joiner and Sons) 9.6.82 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.
