In view of the fact that the future for the Broadgate Engine House looks somewhat rosy, does anyone have any idea on the engine houses and remains at Luckett and if they are any closer to conservation? The last I heard was off a resident of Luckett who said any conservation attempts seem mired in local politics.
Last time I went both remaining engine houses were looking very shabby with one now almost completely overgrown and the roof having collapsed on the other 😞 . The pictures below are from 1999 when the site was still a good explore!

I might go have a nosey later as I will be out that way investigating a shaft gone down, so if time allows I shall report back πŸ™‚
