The Field That Keeps Its Secret

This never fails to make me smile.
That teardrop island and the stubby little peninsula — where the farmer at Aireyholme cuts around rather than through — mark where the ground has quietly given up. They sit at the outer edge of the old Roseberry Mine ironstone workings.

Echoes in the Vale: The Ghostly Rise and Fall of Leven Vale Cottages

Cold Moor: A Close Brush with Industry

Cold Moor today looks like the sort of place that looks as though history slipped it by. Green, quiet, and peaceful. You would never guess how close it came to becoming a roaring industrial scar.

Glaisdale’s Brief Age of Iron

Glaisdale began life as a quiet township within the parish of Danby, its name shifting through the centuries as Glasedale and Glacedale. Records from 1223 already linked it with the broad sweep of Glaisdale Moor, giving a sense of a place long settled into its landscape.

The Slow Decay of Belmont Mine
