Grinkle Mine Sirocco Fanhouse

The site is on a public footpath, although its appear very rarely used as I lost the track several times.

The fanhouse is beginning to collapse, compared with 70s photos where the concrete roof is straight and uncracked.

The building contains the decaying remains of the actual sirocco fan, which has now collapsed compared to the photo from the 70s when it still held its original shape and covered the holes to the right and left. The small room to the right contains concrete base which presumably held the motor for turning the fan.

  1. Superb photos, especially of the fan. I like the way the arch has retained its shape despite everything else falling around it.
