Great video guys. I work for the estates farm who own the land the mine is on everytime I drive past it I have to stop and take it all in, it's an amazing piece of history
great video guys ,my grandad used to work in the iron mines at Lingdale and Boosbeck he was a big union man back in the day.My uncle was the manager at the steel works at Skinigrove.
what a brilliant find Paul and Neil it makes you wonder who designed this and how it all worked .how scary was it looking down that shaft 100 foot plus great footage and looking forward to part 2. great work
an amazing place Bob full of yesteryear energy of once a busy industry, It was a location which had to look grand to the eye due to its location an the Earl of Zetland seat at Upleatham Hall as notified by Phillip Gallagher informed us.
i lived near here, and when I was a child, all the roofs were intact. you could hide in there from the rain. I've never seen down the shaft before. It was still far too high to see over without standing on somebody's shoulders (which some of the adults did...)
Back in the 60s schools in Middlesbrough talked about Eston Hills and Iron Ore but not about how far the seam went South. It is the same with Whitby Jet where the seam is sloping under the North Sea. Jet, the Black Jewellery is the remains of Monkey Puzzle Trees, or Chilean Pine (alt. name).
The church like building, is nearly identical to that of the building at Stuart Park, which used to be council offices, which are now semi open to the public
The building just seems very out of place where it is. And yes it does look very similar to that building at stuarts Park. Once again thank you my friend
Did you know the buildings here had to be more aesthetically designed because The Earl of Zetland’s seat at Upleatham Hall looked directly at it, and he insisted that he didn’t want to look at your standard industrial buildings from his front room!? True story!
Wow Philip now that does explain alot and makes total sense, cheers for that buddy. Part 2 is coming very soon which was a fantastic find and blew us away
@@PhillipGallagher We found that there did the same in Ravenscar, the owner of the hotel did not want the railway running past his hotel and insisted the put it underground.
Part 2 will be coming very shortly and what you will see has been hidden for years and years. We were blown away by it
Nice to hear Yorkshire/Teesside accents on a channel here Thanks for Posting you two

Great video, I live nearby often wondered who owns this. I'd like to buy it as a build project.

Oh wow and thank Phillip, that make very good sense, because the hall would of been there well before the mine.
@@stomperthemixer1 Yeah, and if you’re over by Upleatham and look across, old girl still looks impressive, even in today’s state. Great tribute, lads!

in this day and age why did it close due to transport costs
Funny that is my last name .Skelton . My family started out in northern England Yorkshire and migrated to Waterford Ireland
