Engine house of rotative beam engine, foundations of horse whim house, and weighbridge house. Buildings date from 1792-1837. Sandstone rubble, engine house has large quoins and plain tiled roof. Engine house of rectangular plan, formerly used for pumping by means of a drive shaft which emerged through the wall; engine house was formerly used as a water tower and is taller than it was originally. Foundations of horse whim house, about 1 1/2 metres high, about 3 metres north of engine house, used for winding during the sinking of the shaft and later for maintenance. Weighbridge house, small rectangular rubble building (overgrown with ivy at time of survey March 1985) about 30 metres to north. Map prepared by the Royal Engineers in 1830 showed the pit as 'Old Nailsea Pit' with workings 200 feet deep; Middle Engine Pit probably worked the Whites and Dungy seams over an area extending from the Trendlewood quarries to the lane down Golden Valley, and from Nailsea Park and Station Road to Trendlewood.
