Z50_5580 - Port Mulgrave - a photo on Flickriver

            Located on the Yorkshire Coast midway between Staithes and Runswick Bay in the civil parish of Hinderwell is the quaint Port Mulgrave. Port Mulgrave was historically known as Rosedale however it had to be changed. It was changed to avoid any confusion that could be caused by the already existing ironstone mines and ironworks at Rosedale in the middle of the North York Moors it was renamed Port Mulgrave after the landowner the Earl of Mulgrave.
Port Mulgrave was once the home of an ironstone mine/exporting port.  The ironstone mine at Rosedale Wyke, in Port Mulgrave and the constructed harbour, was opened by Sir Charles Palmer 1856-57. The harbour exported ironstone to Jarrow on Tyneside to supply Palmers Shipbuilding and Iron Company. The mine began to run out therefore Sir Charles Palmer established a Grinkle ironstone mine 3 miles to the east. A narrow-gauge railway line was built to service the mine in 1875. Wagons from Grinkle were transported over bridges, through a tunnel and along an inclined tunnel on a ropeway, this was powered by a steam engine. These railway wagons emerged 30ft above sea level on the cliffside and had to be led onto a gantry with bunkers on the east harbour wall ready for loading the ironstone directly into ships in the harbour. You can still see the tunnel entrance today however it has been sealed up. (the whitbyguide.co.uk)

During our walk along the Cleveland Way, we tried to gain access to the beach, but a landslip had taken away a metal staircase, and the only other access down was by a precarious-looking rope
