Former workshops and stables, Belmont Ironstone mine

Around the back of the impressive range of buildings used for stabling the ponies that were used underground in the Belmont Ironstone Mine. They are probably the best-preserved surface remains of mine buildings in Cleveland and have found use once again for stables. In the 1970s I remember them being used for housing pigs. Or at least pigs use to roam around the back here. From my photo-diary for 22nd February 2020 see http://www.fhithich.uk/?p=22351
