Duke Pit fan house is a nineteenth-century industrial structure located in Cumberland, England. The building served the ventilation requirements of the adjacent coal mine workings, employing fan machinery to manage air circulation within the pit. Constructed during the period of intensive coal extraction in the Cumberland coalfield, the structure represents the practical engineering solutions developed to support underground mining operations. The fan house survives as a physical record of the region's industrial heritage and the technological infrastructure that sustained pit production during this era.
