Final Installment of Stench Pipes (Park Avenue, Redcar)
The last one i’ve seen, on Park Avenue. Has a makers mark of Needham Stockport.
 
I would imagine this one is later than the ones in Coatham as the area would have been developed around 1920-1930
You guessed it, another Stench Pipe, Redcar.
In a back alley behind Queen Street, this one still has the pipe rather than being cut off at the base like many others.
Yet more stench pipes. Locke Park, Redcar
The more I look, the more I see. Redcar is full of them.
This one sits just within Locke Park.
Yet another stench pipe, Coatham
The whole area still seems to be littered with these, seems odd that they were not removed over the years.
Another Stench Pipe, Coatham Enclosure
The photo was taken a few years ago before the redevelopment of Coatham Enclosure, it looks like the pipe was removed during that work.
Victorian Stench Pipe
I had always considered these to be the bases of gas lamps, but this document from 2007 says its an old stench pipe from the drains.
Littlebeck Hermitage
This folly carved from a single sandstone boulder can be found in the woods between Littlebeck and Falling Foss
The GC 1790 inscription above the entrance relates to George Chubb
The interior has also been heavily inscribed over the years.
Marske Mill Race, Saltburn
The mill race started at a pair of breached dams to the west of the viaduct.
 
 
It runs along the north bank of the beck, alongside the modern footpath. There appear to be some remains here relating to a time water still flowed.
 
The ditch that remains continues east towards the mill site where there are some markers for a long forgotten Marske Mill trail.

Newport Ironworks, Blast Furnace Foundations, Middlesbrough
These furnace bases are some of the few remains left of the ironmasters district.
There is a disagreement between the notice board on site and a Cleveland Industrial Archaeology Report from 1979.
The CIAS report states Bernhard Samuelson built five furnaces known as the “old side” 1864 – 1867 and three more known as the “new side” in 1869 -1871. The notice board says the remains are the three ‘new side’ blast furnaces built in 1874.
The ironstone used here was mined in the Slapewath / Spa Wood area.
