The 16 arches of the old kilns are as promentant in the valley as the new kilns also being around 90m long.
There are 4 kilns with 4 arches each, the arches are about 4-5m wide.
The upper parts of the kilns have gradually collapsed and are spilling out through the arches.
Above the arches is a ventilation chimney associated with the mine, which stands 7.5m high with a small door at the base allowing a view inside.
Good shot of what looks like red heat discolourations round the archways.
If anyone is interested a good little walks book can be picked up in the Rosedale village shop. I bought a copy whilst there a few years ago and it details the history of the area, and includes a series of walks taking into account all current remains.
