This barn-like building is located on Daleside Road approaching the beautiful village of Rosedale Abbey in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. Spring is still struggling to get a foothold on this part of the moor.
Not sure what it was originally used for so perhaps some local person can enlighten me
For the walking fraternity this is part of a 12 mile walk staring at Appleton le Moors, then on through Low and High Askew to Rosedale Abbey (I've seen snakes on this part of the moor), After Rosedale Abbey, climb the very steep Rosedale Chimney Bank turning off the road at the top to Ain Howe Cross (Ana Cross) before dropping down to leave the moor on High Street in Lastingham. Then follow the road back to Appleton
Rosedale Abbey village comprises a collection of stone houses, and public houses, St Mary & St Lawrence Church, an art gallery, tea room, a sandwich shop, glass studio, and a village green.
Happy Fence Friday (HFF)
This rickety fence is along side of the old track bed of the Rosedale Iron Railway
The Rosedale Railway was an 19.5-mile goods-only railway line running from Battersby Junction via Ingleby Incline, across the heights of the North York Moors in North Yorkshire, England to reach iron ore deposits in the remote hills of the Rosedale valley.
The first loaded train ran on March 27th 1861

Happy Fence Friday
The Kilns were built in 1860 to roast (Calcine) the ironstone that had been mined from beneath the adacent moor. The track is an old railway line which carried the iron ore between mines and the kilns then to the factories.
These Kilns and mines cover the moors and its hard to believe how industrial the moor was in 19th century. They are now artefacts and graded buildings standing testament to the industrial revolution but once they blacked the sky and damaged the moor and wildlife. Will future generations one day look back at fracking in the same respectful manner or as a blight on the landscape.
Florence Terrace in Rosedale is likely to have been named after Florence Nightingale Her medical work in the Crimean War of the 1850s made her famous not all that long before the Rosedale Abbey iron mining boom of the 1870s took place

CP 2CWR-08 comes rolling through Rosedale on the approach to Leaside with one of only a handful of CMQ "barns" still sporting the blue and white. I still can't believe these are a thing in 2022, truly incredible. Oh and how about that fresh CP 5989?
My wishes is for all to stay save from the horrendous virus and remember to look after vulnerable neighbours.
This flagged stone path leads from Rosedale up toward the Disused Ironstone Railway track which traverses the head of the dale and round the the famous Chimney Bank. The track is in the final stages of being upgraded for easy access to all groups of people.
Rosedale is in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, England
This is the Rosedale East Mines calcining kilns and iron mines where the ore was transported away on the Ironstone Railway In the North Yorkshire Moors National Park
Relics of the entire mining and refining process and the communities that worked there still remain at East kilns. Two monumental sets of calcining kilns can be seen for miles from across the valley. A chimney stands high on the moor and near-derelict cottages show that this was once a bustling centre of the industry with several hundred people working and living on the hillside

Rosedale West Mines were the beating heart of a short-lived but intense industrial boom in the North York Moors. If you're drawn to places where nature and history collide, this site is a treasure trove
You can walk around Rosedale on the old railway track to the East Mines

For the people who don't know the grid across the road at the gate is a cattle grid which also keeps moorland sheep out of the village HFF
The Millennium Cross was erected to mark the year 2000 by the residents of Rosedale Abbey, North Yorkshire England.
It is located on Heygate Bank on the road from Rosedale Abbey to Egton Bridge which takes you 8 miles over the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors which in August turns into a sea of purple heather.
The afternoon eastbound blasts off from Smiths Falls.
Luck was on my side as I made my way to the Falls after work on a Friday. I saw this train on the move from the station and raced it to Rosedale where light snow was falling.
The extreme 33% Gradient to Rosedale Chimney is one of the steepest climbs of Europe
Rosedale Chimney Bank is a mountain pass at an elevation of 312m (1,023ft) above sea level located in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire, England. The tarmac road approaching the pass is one of the steepest, toughest, and most spectacular climbs in Europe, with a gradient of 33%.
Why is it called Rosedale Chimney?
Named after a towering 100-foot (30 m) chimney constructed to facilitate an ironstone mine in the vicinity, this site witnessed the closure of the mine in 1929. However, the chimney endured until its demolition on 28 July 1972.
How dangerous is the Rosedale Chimney?
The road is fairly exposed, so expect some wind and rain to liven things up too. It is unsuitable for all vehicles in winter conditions. The surface is rough at first and steep from the outset, but improves as you pass over a cattle grid and approach the double hairpin. The second bend here is so steep on the inside that it forces you far right, so take care. Now straightening up, the next stretch is ridiculously hard, the main problem here being just staying upright while either side of the road, sheep wait to see if yet another rider falls victim to the Chimney. Stick with it, as eventually the one-in-three does turn into a relatively gentle one-in-six, allowing you to build a little momentum to drag your bike up onto the moor. It’s one of the truly definitive climbs. Avoid the route in wintry conditions. The road is unsuitable for lorries and caravans.
How hard is Rosedale Chimney?
It’s said to be one of the steepest, toughest, and most spectacular climbs in England. Few climbs have such a tremendous reputation. The road becomes especially dangerous for the brakes on a couple of particularly steep turns, and it’s one of the most challenging sections of a road in England. The climb is immediately steep - a sign tells you’re about to tackle a 1 in 3 hill. You encounter a cattle grid, which doesn’t help matters, after which the road hits 25% on the first corner of a switchback, followed by the steepest part of the climb (33%) - a very steep second corner and unforgiving section after it, leaving riders struggling to maintain momentum. The climb then relents to about 20% before easing off to the top and onto the vast expanse of Spaunton Moor. Leaving Rosedale Abbey, a sign warns you of the one-in-three gradient to come. Starting from Rosedale Abbey, the ascent is 1.47 km long. Over this distance, the elevation gain is 175 meters. The average percentage is 11.9%. Brutal is a word used often in cycling, but there isn’t a better one to describe the climb.

Thanks everyone for your support, you are all awesome đŸ’“
X We had a trip to the North Yorkshire Moors National Park yesterday. I had not managed to get there in August to see the heather in flower for over thirty years. For many years August was the year of our annual holidays somewhere abroad but now of course we are not tied anymore to school holidays. The Moors are always beautiful but often look bleak, yesterday it was a joy to see the carpets of heather and listen to the sound of honeybees feeding on nectar. The shot was taken just North of Rosedale.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.

Calcining kilns, Rosedale
This landscape was utterly transformed during Rosedale’s Victorian ‘iron rush’ when Bank Top was a centre for the processing and transport of ironstone. Mining began in 1856, with ironstone hewn from nearby Hollins Mines and hauled by a steam winding engine up an inclined tramway to Bank Top. Vast quantities of ore – over 300,000 tonnes a year – were then processed in giant kilns, before being carried by moorland railway to blast furnaces in County Durham and Teesside.

Rosedale lies in the centre of the North York Moors about nine miles North West of Pickering.
The iron mining and railway community came into being in the 1850's. It flourished for two or three generations but by 1929 had come to an end.
The East Mines were opened around 1859 and the ironstone was initially quarried from the hillside but soon tunnels were dug into the hillside.
At first the ironstone was transported by horse and cart from the mines to the railway at Pickering but it soon became clear that a railway of their own was needed.Plans were drawn up by the North Yorks and Cleveland Railway company to build a railway from Rosedale to the iron smelting works on the banks of the River Tees.The line was opened in March 1861
