Hill Cottages
Two terraces of housing might seem unusual in such a rural location as upper Rosedale in the North Yorks Moors National Park but the valley was once the location of much industrial activity - the mining of ironstone followed by its on-site processing and then its transportation to Teesside. Doubtless, these terraces provided homes for the workers in those industries.

Hill Cottages, Rosedale East
A row of terraced cottages not far away from the start of the Rosedale East Mines and the mineral railway, so I presume they were built for the mine and railway workers.

Reminders of an industrial age
In the middle of the North York Moors National Park in sylvan Rosedale one comes across rows of 19th century workers cottages which look as though they could have been transported here from the old coal mining areas of County Durham. This little community is known as Hill Cottages and sits directly below some of the main workings of the Rosedale East iron ore mines. The cottages probably date from the 1860's and reflect the rapid industrialisation of the dale following the discovery of thick seams of iron bearing rocks. In 1851 the population of Rosedale East was 373, but 20 years later it had swelled to 2041 as the mines were in full production. The old 25" OS maps show these cottages with rows of outbuildings at the rear, which one would assume were the 'facilities'.

The long terrace is probably miners' cottages dating from about 1860. The photograph was taken from the disused railway line on the opposite side of the valley.

Hill Cottages on Alders Road
Cottages built in the mid 19th Century to house workers involved in the extraction of iron ore, for which Rosedale was once famous.
The industry has now gone, but the houses remain as a legacy - some of which are now holiday lets.
