This small stretch of wall is built from the tuyeres, which allowed air into the Bessemer converters of the Eston Steelworks.
 
The railway that ran along the embankment served the Eston Ironstone mines.

Although I have said this before, the Google Earth feature we have on this site really is fantastic. The original rail links to both the Eston mine complex and the original line to Guisborough can be seen clearly, which we would not see from ground level.
