Wynnstay Colliery Winding Engine House is a post-medieval industrial structure located in Denbighshire, Wales, associated with coal mining operations in the region. The building dates from the period of intensive industrial development in Wales during the nineteenth century, when collieries expanded significantly across the coalfield areas. As an engine house, the structure originally housed the mechanical equipment necessary to operate the mine's winding apparatus, which was essential for raising coal and miners from the pit. The survival of this industrial building contributes to the archaeological and historical record of Welsh mining heritage, reflecting the technological and economic developments that characterised the Industrial Revolution in Wales.
