Show on map Cheers to Chris Martin for the information about this additional obelisk, like the two sets in Eston it bears the inscription “Cleveland Ironstone Eston Mines” this one is actually in better condition than all the others.
Not the greatest photos as only had my mobile phone.
Anyone know of any more obelisks ? I believe there used to be another to the North of South Bank, towards the river.
Show on map The Rosedale ROC post has a good complete set of surface features.
 
The circular metal plate on the main hatch is a mount for a Ground Zero Indicator (GZI) which was an arrangement of 4 pinhole cameras to indicate the direction of nuclear blasts. The metal pipe emerging from the side would have connected to the hand pump at the bottom of the shaft.
A louvered air vent is located at each end, one is part of the main hatch the other standing alone.
The large metal post is a Radiac mount which would hold equipment to measure radioactivity levels.
The smaller metal post is part of a Bomb Power Indicator (BPI) which was connected to a gauge underground to measure the pressure or shockwave from the blast.
Show on map Carrs Tilery operated from 1867 until 1879, they produced land drains, pipes, tiles and bricks used by the Skelton Estate and the local ironstone mines. Its also believe they produced the bricks for the houses at Margrove Park.
The remains of two kilns are visible, one just consists of a few remains of walls.
 
A second is much more complete and heaps of tiles can also be found in the undergrowth.
 
 
The rest of the site is private property, although a chimney can be seen above the trees and a building beside the adjacent railway line remains.
  
Show on map Waterfall mine was worked between 1892 and 1901, the ironstone here is very close to the surface and under a layer of sand and clay, the dangerous working conditions gave this mine the nickname “Linger and Die”
The whole site is now obscured by a plantation, although hints of a cutting/drift can be seen towards the east corner where the path of a railway can be seen heading across fields on the aerial photo.
Show on map St Oswalds, Tin Tabernacle was erected for the miners of the Kirkleatham Ironstone Mine in 1913
Corrugated iron churches are become rarer, someone sought planning permission to demolish it in 2006 for housing but was fortunately turned down despite this unique building not being listed and in need of repairs.
Update December 2011 – A friend of mine kindly provided a 1977 photo from the Evening Gazette in which demolition of the church is discussed, its such a shame that over 30 years later its still looking just as unloved (but fortunately still intact)
There are also details of how the bell from the church is currently in Titoki on the Bay of Plenty, on the North Island of New Zealand,
Show on map A large number of pits, usually just mounds but occasionally shafts (up to 160ft deep)Â capped with large stones are spread across the moorland between Clitherbeck Farm and Poverty Hill. Coal was worked here from the 16th century until the 1890s
 
A well next to Rose Cottage has ochreous mine water bubbling up from the nearby workings.
 
Show on map Rock Hole Alum Quarry was started by John Atherton of Skelton Castle in 1604 and was the earliest in the district and the first success works in the whole country.
 
Despite being idle from hundreds of years, little vegetation ever grows back.
