Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Site of the Ayton Ironstone Mine The two drifts of the Ayton Ironstone Mine were just of to the right. Directly ahead is the self acting incline, a quarter of a mile long and 1 in 4 at its steepest where ore was transported down to the North Eastern Railway. Concrete bases can be made out right and left of centre. Those on the left, partially hidden by the bushes, were for haulage gear for the incline. To the left beyond the foundations are the tops of spoil tips.

Because of its proximity to Capt. Cooks Monument the mine became known locally as the Monument Mine. The site now is used for motor cycling scrambling.

The village of Great Ayton is in the distance top right.
