    Eston Mines worked from 1850 to 1949 and produced some 63 million tons of ironstone. It was the creation of Teesside as a major iron, then steel, producing centre.
    The first collection of concrete remains was a small ventilating fanhouse for drawing air out of the mines; the second tunnel served the same purpose but had a much larger ventilating fan in front of it built there in 1869.
    The high stone wall was the base of a large steam engine house for hauling wagons along a railway from the Guisborough direction. Plenty of other remains can be seen when the vegetation is down. Several other sites had driftts, all now closed, where the ironstone was brought out.
