Dunsdale Ironstone Mine

In Dunsdale but known as the Kirkleatham mine. The entrance to the drift mine is open but the tunnel is filled/collapsed about 10 metres in. Old maps of the area also show a tunnel running under the road (not for the stream) and a powder magazine but no trace of either can now be seen.
