Wynnstay Colliery Walker Fan House is a late nineteenth or early twentieth century industrial ventilation structure located in Denbighshire, Wales. The building housed a Walker fan, a mechanical ventilation system essential to the operation of the colliery, enabling the circulation of air through the underground workings and the removal of dangerous gases. As part of the Wynnstay Colliery complex, the fan house represents the technological infrastructure that supported coal extraction during the industrial development of the region. The structure survives as evidence of the engineering systems that made deep mining operations viable in this period.
