Former Jane Pit, Mossbay Road, Workington, Cumbria
The Jane Pit was an undersea coal mine opened in 1844 by Henry Curwen. The engine house was built in 1843 and housed a pumping engine. Both the engine house and chimney have battlements. It is the finest surviving example of an ornate castellated style of colliery found in Cumberland. This style was used when large landowners built mine buildings.
