Show on map Duck Bridge was originally known as Danby Castle Bridge (the remains of which are 500m away)
It is probably medieval in original and was rebuilt in 1717 by George Duck of Danby. It was possible to drive across until a ford was built a few years ago.
 
The Neville Coat of Arms can be seen on the parapet, and a set of stepping stones run beside the bridge.
Show on map Although there ironstone workings in the immediate area and this looks like a drift I dont think it is.
I think this is more likely the location where the culvert from the Boulby Alum Works passed underneath the road on its way to the Alum House for processing.
The house is probably not original, although a wall in the garden at the edge of the cliff looks much older. The vertical shaft from the Boulby Alum Tunnel on the shore would emerge in the garden of this house were it still open.
Show on map The location of the ironstone drift is now the site of pond, presumably filled with water still flowing from the mine workings.

The Lady Hewleys Trust is actually still in existance today.
Show on map Aislaby Quarry was a source of blockstones in the 17th and 18th Century for harbours such as Whitby, Margate and Ramsgate, and the Strand Bridge in London.
The blockstone was returned from the Whitby pier in 1964
 
The quarry reopened in 2002, I have read that in the 1970s the remains of a jet mines were also accessible, but the whole area seems to have been freshly opened up, so I doubt the current owners would take kindly to visitors searching for any remains.
