This was really interesting to see. Has an engine house ever been moved before or after this?

Is there any video footage of this being moved?

I may be wrong on this but I think the mine has its own web site

Yes, there's a DVD and a book, both entitled 'On the Move'. For starters I'd try the email link at the bottom of the first web page link mentioned by Morlock. Two thousand tonnes moved about 300 metres, including one right angle bend - it's quite a story.

Thanks for those links!

It's an amazing project really, a shame nothing like that was done to a few of the unfourtunate enginehoused down here that lost their right to exist!
