Chimney Bank by craftymeg

Chimney Bank

We went up to Chimney Bank over the moors near Rosedale today. The weather was lovely but such a cold wind 14c so I didn't linger too long!
These 8 arches are what is left of two kilns(4arches each kiln) where ironstone was mined. The ore was heated up in the kilns to get rid of unwanted contaminates which in turn lightened the weight of the ore making it cheaper to ship by train to the smelters.

There you go again, making me feel homesick! Lovely Rosedale. Well we're packing up our life in France once more and will be back in wonderful North Yorkshire next week.

So sorry I'm making you homesick, are you home for the winter? Where do you come from in the north east? It must be lovely to spend the summer months in France.

@craftymeg We live very close to Castle Howard, about 14 mls from fabulous York. How about meeting up for a photo session sometime?

That would be nice, although I am a bit restricted at the moment, awaiting an op on my ankle. Do you ever come over my way, I am just down the road from Saltburn, Redcar and Marske?
