Hiking

East Mines are the remains of what used to be old iron kilns. The kilns were used to calcine (i.e. to roast) ironstone to reduce its weight, so it could be transported.

Hiking

From Landofiron.org.uk: The Rosedale Iron Kilns are the most northerly set of arched kilns within the valley (hence they are also known as the North Kilns). During the boom years of Rosedale's ironstone mining, in the latter half of the 1800's through to the 1920's, the Iron Kilns were one of three sets where ironstone was calcined (roasted) before being taken to Teesside and further afield for iron and steel production.
