SE7294 : Old mine workings, Rosedale

taken 17 years ago, near to Rosedale Abbey, North Yorkshire, England

Old mine workings, Rosedale
Old mine workings, Rosedale
From the road near Bank Top looking down into the River Seven valley, Rosedale.

On the valley slope are the black spoil heaps from the disused ironstone mines and coming towards you on the right you can see the remains of an inclined plain, the route of a tramway used to bring the raw ore up to the kilns at Bank Top. After processing there the calcined ore was transported by railway to ironworks in County Durham.

It is interesting to think about the contrast between the peaceful scene now, and the industrial mayhem that you would have seen in the mid 19th century.
