This is a site of an old ironstone mine, which used to be around 180 feet deep, and had pumping gear, engine beds and boilers. The site is beautifully presented with useful information boards provided, and even some wooden carved wagons thrown in for good measure!

There was once a mine here, and exciting boards provide information on how ironstone was mined a good 100 years ago.

Esk Valley Mine (also known as Holme House Mine) was a Victorian ironstone mine near Grosmont, unique for being a deep-shaft operation with its own planned workers’ community. Unlike most local mines, which were drift mines (horizontal tunnels into hillsides), Esk Valley was a deep-shaft mine, with a shaft sunk about 60 metres straight down to reach the ironstone seam. Ore was hauled up using a steam-powered winding engine, whose base and boiler supports can still be seen today.
