Redcar

On my summer holiday I spent an afternoon exploring industrial remains in North Yorkshire. My peregrinations led me to the spoil heap of the Kilton ironstone mine from the top of which the views were extensive and fascinating. To the north could be seen the last remaining blast furnace in the area at Redcar. With a 300mm lens it actually looks quite close!

At one time the output from the Kilton mine would have gone to Skinningrove rather than Redcar and also possibly the West Bank furnaces at Middlesbrough.
