Above is a corner view from the North West of the winding engine house at Glyn Pits. To within an inch or so, the building is thirty feet square, and thirty-four feet from ground level to the eaves and placed on-site between 1856 and 1865. This picture is too distant to see the fine quality of the masonry, which in this case is dressed stone throughout, but one needs to be close to the building to really appreciate the workmanship, which is a tribute to the men who built it.  Seen in this image are the three stone corbels which supported the backstays {bracers} for the headgear. Between the two nearer corbels, and over the bricked-up window on the right, can be seen the slot in the wall - now plastered with grease thrown from the rope - through which the upcast rope left the building. while the other rope exited the building through a slot in the roof.  It was through the nearest of the two largest red bricked up windows { Breached } that the engine driver would have viewed the pit-head, or 'Bank' when winding.
