OK, where is this and what used to happen here?

Sorry Joy I've no idea

Well, here's a clue. It's somewhere in the north of England Jean, but not in your neck of the woods!

Yorkshire?

__________________

Hey Wendy, well done, it is Yorkshire! Do you know whereabouts or what it might be?

No, sorry Joy, Yorkshire was a pure guess!

Please can anyone else help with the answer?

_______________________

Another clue then.....it's North Yorkshire.

After some research I think it is part of the Rosedale Chimney Bank ruins on the North Yorkshire Moors?

If this is correct then there used to be a chimney there which was 100 foot tall which was demolished in 1972.

It was part of an ironstone mine which closed in 1929.

_____________________________________________________

And you're correct Wendy! These are the old kilns that were used for 'roasting' the ironstone at Rosedale Abbey mine.

Your turn.........

Thanks Joy.
