Remains of the winding house at Redlake china clay pit (MDV107445) sit on the clay pit edge and occupy an area of approximately 9.7 metres by 7.6 metres. The building housed a horizontal steam engine and winding mechanisms, used for winding trams up and down the incline, and a pump to pressurise water to the monitors. The corrugated iron walls and timber frames that covered the machinery, as well as the machinery itself, have all been removed but the concrete base, with many in-situ iron studs, survives. The rectangular pits that housed the twin winding drums as well as the flywheel pit and engine loading are clearly defined. External features, including stone lined pits to the south-west and north-west have also survived.
