Parts of three walls remain of what appears to have been the boiler house of the winding engine. Not shown on the Tithe Map although this may have been a deliberate omission since minerals were not subject to Tithe. The 25 inch maps indicate that the major part was removed between 1888 and 1904 but the site where it was terraced into the slope is clearly visible.
Passmore, A. J., 2000, Archaeological Watching Brief on the DCC Bideford East-the-Water Industrial Link Road (Report - Watching Brief). SDV21460.
Engine house was unaffected during construction of the Industrial Link Road but the associated boiler house was recorded before being filled in. The engine house is 8 metres by 5 metres and survives to circa one-third of original height. The boiler house is 9.5 metres by 8.2 metres and survives to a height of 1.6 metres in southeast corner.
