Line of the former Rosedale railway across the watershed to the Teesside smelters. In 1328 Edward III had already assigned the ore mining to the nuns of Rosedale Abbey. However, a true mining industry only emerged halfway through the 19th century.
Once the railway connection across the heaths was constructed, no less than 5 million tons of ore were mined and transported in the first 20 years. In the late 1920s mining came to an end.
