Tardebigge Engine House, Engine house at Worcester and Birmingham Canal in Tutnall and Cobley, England.
The three-story brick building with slate roof and stone-coped verges stands near the summit of the Tardebigge Flight on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal.
Built in the early 19th century, this Grade II listed structure operated steam engines that facilitated boat movements along the Worcester and Birmingham Canal system.
The engine house represents the engineering achievements of the Industrial Revolution, demonstrating the shift from manual to mechanical operations in canal transportation.
Visitors can access the engine house via walking paths along the canal, which offer views of the historical waterway infrastructure and surrounding landscape.
The building maintains its original architectural features, including segmentally-headed casements on upper floors and a modern brick gabled porch addition at ground level.
