Historic England Scheduled Monument No.1017643

Roachburn Colliery was the first electrically operated coal mine in Cumbria and survives reasonably well. Despite some later modifications the electricity generating house still survives to its full height. Additionally, the pumping house accommodated a rare Bull steam-powered beam engine, and although this engine has been removed since closure of the mine, the pumping house largely remains largely in its original condition and contains many internal features which provide a range of technological information. The monument includes the upstanding and buried remains of Cumbria's first electrically-powered coal mine, the late 19th/early 20th century Roachburn Colliery. It includes the upstanding but roofless electricity generating house and pumping house, the wall surrounding three sides of the now sealed drawing shaft, the ventilation fan compartment, and the foundations and buried remains of a headgear pillar support. For further details see the full listing on the Historic England website.
