Description:Rosedale is a deep valley extending nearly eight miles from immediately south of the main east-west watershed of the North York Moors. Today, this isolated valley with its single village of Rosedale Abbey depends on farming, forestry and the summer visitor for its livelihood, but for a limited period in the 19th Century, it was the scene of a flourishing mining industry. So valuable was the ironstone of Rosedale that nearly twenty miles of standard gauge railway were built to transport this mineral wealth over the highest part of the North York Moors to the ironworks of County Durham. Although Part I of this paper is largely devoted to the ironstone mines of Rosedale, a brief record of the other mines and quarries in and around the valley has been added.
