Throston Engine House

Throston Engine House was built between 1838-1840. It contained a steam winding engine which hauled the coal waggons of the Stockton and Hartlepool Railway up 14ft to the staithes of the Hartlepool Railway. The roof was originally flat and held a water tank. The Engine house was redundant within 10 years with the development of the West Hartlepool Docks.
