Seldom Seen Engine House

The Seldom Seen Engine House is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM).

Dating to between 1855 and 1875, this Scheduled Ancient Monument, located in Ince Piece Wood within the Moss Valley, is the last remaining building of the Plumbley Collieries.

The Seldom Seen Engine House is formerly a beam engine used to pump water from nearby mining works.

The name 'Seldom Seen' was given to this location because it was reputedly haunted, but the ghost was seldom seen.

We have completed some restoration to the building to ensure the structures survival.
