Astley Green Colliery engine house and headgear is a late nineteenth-century industrial monument located in Lancashire, England. The site comprises a substantial brick engine house constructed to house the steam machinery that powered the pit's winding and pumping operations, together with its associated headgear structure used for raising and lowering men and coal from the mine shaft. Dating from the 1912 sinking of the pit, these structures represent the technological sophistication of Edwardian colliery engineering and are among the finest surviving examples of their kind. The monument exemplifies the industrial heritage of the South Lancashire coalfield and remains significant as evidence of the region's coal mining operations during the early twentieth century.
