Grinkle Miners

Another piece of the jigsaw – this image includes the two trapdoor lads from a previous post and looks as if it is also part of a larger image.  Can anybody name any of these people?

Dale House to Port Mulgrave Tunnel Entrance

Dale House to Port Mulgrave Tunnel Entrance

An image of the unique cabless locomotives used by The Grinkle Mine of Sir Charles Mark Palmer to negotiate the low headroom in the tunnels on the route from Grinkle to Port Mulgrave. In the background is the entrance to the Port Mulgrave Tunnel, where the wagons were transferred to the dock at Port Mulgrave using a main and tail rope system powered from an engine-house on the Port Mulgrave side. A good industrial image!

Grinkle Park

A beautiful building once owned by the Palmer family,  now owned by a brewery and serves as a hotel, the pets graveyard is  a place  children love to visit to see where the dogs,  ducks and other pets were buried.

(This view of Grinkle Park, probably during the times before it became the sporting hotel it is now, shows the glazed sun lounge to good effect. – John G)
