Kilton Ironstone Mine, Simon Chapman, A5 PB 56 pages
The definitive history and exploration of the Kilton Ironstone Mine. Simon
has put together the troubled and somewhat mysterious story of Kilton
Ironstone Mine. It began life in the late 19th century, when enormous cost
was expended to find rather inferior stone. It languished for 20 years
before working on and off for a further 70 years. All that remains of the
village are a few houses, the school and the manager's house. A must for
serious students of Cleveland Ironstone. £5.95
Upleatham Ironstone Mine, Simon Chapman, A5 PB 128 pages This is the history
of the large and important mine which was the reason why the village of New
Marske was established. Working started in 1851, and continued without a
break until the mine became exhausted in 1923. Simon has
put together a fact laden story which draws heavily on available documentary
material produced when the mine was in operation. This is a substantial work
and its value to the student of the Cleveland ironstone mining industry is
immense. £6.95
California and South Eston, Richard Pepper A5 PB 70 pages
A large and imposing picture book of the town and industry of the first
ironstone mine in north Cleveland. The historic and important landmarks of
the past and present are illustrated in high quality prints on art paper.
The narrative traces the history and explains each picture in detail. The
quality of some of the prints is outstanding. A worthwhile addition to the
library of any ironstone enthusiast. £6.00
Skinningrove, Simon Blake, A5 PB 28 pages
Four walks in the vicinity of historic Skinningrove. It was here that
Bolckow and Vaughan first started working the Main Seam of Cleveland
Ironstone. The Tom Leonard Mining Museum is the base for each walk and is a
convenient location to enhance the knowledge and understanding of this once
important industry. £2.80
