A long time ago on Skinningrove works the ’barrows’ are there some still laden, they must have been very heavy for one man to push when fully loaded, each barow is numbered and I am supposing each man ad his own barrow. Am I right?

1880 is the date on the photo, not the kind of men I would like to meet on a dark night, but the hours were long and the pay was small. (photo courtesy of Eric Johnson)
Eston Mine – with the Hauler which hauled the wagons (trucks) up, or let them down, part of the incline. One can see the rope attached from the Hauler Drums and the Hauler man on the left side on the Drum bridge. Note the square opening on the building behind. This was where the Hauler or Winder man looked out over the proceedings. Note there are also more trucks under the bridge going further up to the left and next section.

1895 was the date on this photo and who am I to argue?
The caption on the photo says it all.
A lovely photo of the mine, but I think it may be a postcard. Someone has cropped the card (not guilty) but part of Geo. Skilbeck’s name can still be seen.
Now the fan falls into disrepair as the mine is no longer working.
Do you remember Redcar bus station like this? I do.
A different photo of the mine showing the ’buckets’ taking the shale to the tip behind the mine. The ironstone went to the works via the shaft for North Loftus mine (the head gear was inside the works). This image is probably dated c. 1930. |
