Grinkle iron mine was opened in 1875 and closed in 1930 . The tram line ran from the mine through the tunnel then onto Dalehouses where it entered a second tunnel which brought it out at Port Mulgrave . The tunnel was last used in 1916 after an inclined section was opened to link up with the Middlesbrough to Whitby line .
The north portal .
A look back .
A barrier ?
One of many alcoves .
Sleepers still visible .
Stalactites .
The south portal . Very boggy and it’s not recommended to fall in it , as I did .
Cheers
