Skelton mine was located above what is now Waterfall Farm near Guisborough, a very busy area for mines being only a short distance from Skelton Park, Spa Wood,  Tocketts, South Skelton and Aysdalegate.

The void where the fan stood is accessible through a very tight squeeze on the eastern wall, or by scaling the western wall.

The top of the filled shaft is visible as a ring of bricks just to the south of the fan house.
