East Gawber Hall colliery fanhouse is a scheduled ancient monument located near Croft Farm in Yorkshire, England. The structure dates from the industrial period and served as a ventilation facility for the adjacent colliery workings. The fanhouse represents an important component of the mechanical infrastructure that became essential to deep coal mining operations during the nineteenth century, when powered ventilation systems were required to maintain safe working conditions underground.
