    Have got some pics of The Hermitage over by Falling Foss / Littlebeck near Whitby if you’d like to put those on? Interesting little place.

    What about a piece on the original Middlesbrough to Guisborough railway line, that runs to the north of the dual carriageway? There are various remnants still in existance, even though the line closed in the 1860’s.

    Or perhaps a piece on the Rosedale mines branch line incorporating the incline, and what remains of the line between Bank Foot and Battersby?

    Whinney Banks. Or Acklam Green, as they are trying to rebrand it as.

    The large memorial stone dedicated to William Henry Thomas and the ‘garden’ that was there. The green open space opposite the playground and the Roseberry filling station on Acklam Road.

    Be interesting to hear a bit more about it other than just what is inscribed on the memorial, and maybe a period image or two.

    I’ve tried looking to no avail…….

    Have you took a look round Acklam hall next to the old middlesbrough college building?

    Fantastic site, loved it. makes me want to drag the kids out around cleveland and point things out to them.
    heres another good site http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bandl.danby/ some interesting stuff there too.
    a favorite place of mine as a kid was Parkers Pit in Skelton,the original site for North Skelton mine im led to believe,before they built it to the south east of skelton. you can still lob bricks down the shaft(makes a big boom after about 5 seconds if you get it right) and there is a powder house to explore(probly full of beer cans and used needles now though)

    Absolutely fascinating site. I must have passed some of these things so many times without noticing! I have some things you may be interested in on my Flickr page (all geotagged).

    The Vicar’s Trod in Marske, a Norman footpath from St. Germain’s church to the Tithe Barn:

    Kind of a geoglyph made of trees on Whorl Hill near Carlton-in-Cleveland, planted to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II:

    You may already have this pillbox on the beach at the Redcar side of South Gare:

    How about Margrove Park ironstone mine? Apparently there is not a lot to see nowadays but there does not seem to be a great deal of information out there regarding this site. Maybe a post would spark some discussion on the topic.

    I wanted to forward an email I received about the work at Middlesbrough railway Station to install some platform lifts . Some old posters have been exposed and would probably fit into your website really well ? My own interest is local aviation history and I was involved with the Thornaby Aerodrome Memorial and Spitfire plus the Aerodrome History Trail . Brilliant website , both informative and slightly quirky at the same time . Well done and thanks .

    The mine at Saltburn looks remarkably like the mines which were common on the coast in the 60s. They were collecting boxes for the Shipwrecked Mariners Association and had access for the collectors to empty them. It would be worth checking the one at Saltburn to see if there are traces of the collecting box near the top.

    Just a note to ask for any information on the community centre in Charltons. I have heard that it was the old bath house for the now long gone local mine, possibly Boosbeck. Its exterior is modern-ish but the internal structure was kept after a fire destroyed the roof of the old building, and a modern ’shell’ built around it.

    When inside, the original wooden baton facias still adorn the walls and beneath the floor are many of the old workings etc.

    Might be worth a stop if you are passing with your camera?
