Walls of SS Castle (HWW!)

Hidden deep in the wooded hillside, SS Castle is all that remains of the1876 fan house housing the 30 foot diameter fan that drew fresh air through the Eston ironstone mines. The name derives from the S-shaped iron wall ties - must have had a subsidence problem, can't think why :-)
