The limestone quarry at Meal Bank in Ingleton was taken over by John Clark and Michael Wilson in 1864. In 1868 work commenced building a Hoffmann kiln at Meal Bank and the works were operated under the name of the Ingleborough Patent Lime Works. The original kiln measured 47.6m east to west by 24m north to south and had 14 brick lined entrances. A railway connection was established in 1892 and the kiln was extended eastward in 1893 to give a final length of 70m and a total of 18 entrances. Closure came in 1909 during a period of depressed markets for lime. The site is now scheduled as an ancient monument.

No entry to the processing plant at the Hanson quarry at Ingleton which extracts greywacke sandstone for aggregate. The greengrocer's apostrophe is a bonus.

New Ingleton Colliery was sunk by the New Ingleton Collieries Ltd in 1912-13 with the first coal wound in September 1914. By 1919 the output from the Six Foot seam was about 2,200 tons a week, whilst from 1921 working was concentrated in the deeper Four Foot seam and later the Yard Seam. Production ceased in February 1936 due to geological and economic problems and salvage continued until 1940. A few buildings survive around the former pithead including the first aid room where the red cross on the door is still evident over 70 years on.
