The Chimney Falls

A close view of the chimney Loftus (Skinningrove) mine being felled in 1912. As it slowly falls, in the background can be seen the Staple shaft of “Duckhole” mine. The footpath linking from Carlin How (beside the former Wesleyan Chapel is also visible. Duckhole mine was eventually linked to Lumpsey mine at Brotton, and worked from that shaft. To the
right; just off the photograph, is what is now the Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum.
