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.
