The Van mines were exploited for lead from 1866, and were managed by Captain William Williams and owned by Earl Vane. A new shaft, known as Seaham's, was sunk c1870 to the S of the original deep shaft. Due to its depth a Cornish pumping engine was brought in from elsewhere, and erected c1876. This boiler stack was connected to the former engine house, which is no longer standing above ground level; the outline of the mine shaft is visible to the E and has recently been infilled. The engine house is shown on the Ordnance Survey of 1903, and in a photo of 1932.
Tall tapering octagonal stack of yellow firebrick with moulded octagonal iron cap to top, beneath which is a brick band. The shaft rests on a square brick base with moulded capstone.
Listed as a prominent and well-preserved boiler stack, a survival from an important regional industry, of which little else remains above ground level.
