Taken from the railway lines above, the picture clearly shows Duckhole in the foreground with Skinningrove or Loftus pit farther down in the valley.

 The Chimney Falls A close view of the chimney at the mine at Loftus as it slowly falls. I would suggest that this is Loftus (Skinningrove) mines chimney being demolished. This was the chimney at Loftus mines being felled in 1912.  Blacksmiths We can see two men hard at work in the blacksmith’s shop at Loftus mine. The man with the file in the foreground is probably the ’smith and his helper behind with his hand on the chimney damper for the fire.  Horses and Handlers Loftus Mine An early shot of the stables at the mine at Loftus before the horses and the men walked down into the mine to work their shift.  Stable Yard Loftus Mine A lovely shot of the stable yard with two of the horse handlers and their horses, they were used to pull the wagons loaded with ironstone from the mine. If their usual handler wasn’t there these horses could be very awkward to any other man trying to work with them. Although there were stables underground, the horses were brought out on a regular basis to enjoy time in the field belonging to the mine. |
