Ruin, Near Glaisdale
Image: © Mick Garratt Taken: 15 Dec 2007
This derelict building stands isolated in a field. It is square in plan but of quite an elaborate construction, slate roofed with distinctive brickwork used in the edging and corbelling. It was used as for the storage of blasting powder and is one of the few visible remains of the Glaisdale Ironstone Mine which operated from 1862 to 1874. The mine was a shaft mine, which has been capped and is located nearby, and ore was taken across a wooden bridge over the River Esk to the ironworks. In the distance is the houses of Carr End.
