Skinningrove before so much of the old village was demolished. 🖤

Sheila’s shop is instantly recognisable in the foreground, with the jetty visible in the background and several more buildings here that many will remember.

I’ve added an enhanced version in the comments — it makes some of the buildings a little easier to pick out 👀

❤️ Heartbeat fans might fancy a trip to the Aidensfield Arms this weekend 🍻

Goathland, less than 40 minutes from Stone Row Cottage, is a lovely village in its own right, but Heartbeat fans will know it as Aidensfield.

Tricia Penrose, who played Gina in the show, became one of the owners of The Goathland Hotel a few months ago — and she’ll be there in person on 7th & 8th September.

The pub was used as the Aidensfield Arms in the show, and they are even planning to rename the hotel The Aidensfield Arms.

If you watched Heartbeat, it must be quite surreal to walk in and see Gina actually behind the bar 😅

And just like that… they’re gone, leaving a rather strange-looking gap in this familiar view. 🐋

They’ll eventually be replaced by a full-size bronze replica, moulded from the old bones and expected to stand there for generations.

I think bronze is a lovely way forward. The arch is an important reminder of Whitby’s whaling past, without needing another pair of real whale jawbones.

Whaling may thankfully be part of Whitby’s history, but sadly it isn’t history everywhere in the world.

Perhaps the new arch can represent both — Whitby’s past and the magnificent animals themselves. 🐋

Whitby’s famous whalebone arch — one of the town’s most recognisable landmarks is being removed from West Cliff today — and if you’ve visited Whitby, chances are you’ve had a photo taken beneath it. 🐋

The arch has stood in different forms since the 1800s as a reminder of Whitby’s past as a major whaling port. The current bones came from Alaska and have been in place since 2003.

They’re now being taken down because they’ve deteriorated and have limited safe life remaining.

These huge jawbones are a striking reminder of the sheer size of these magnificent animals, and of Whitby’s whaling past. 🐋

⚒️ Why is there a mining museum in Skinningrove?

Land of Iron stands on the site of the old Loftus Mine in Skinningrove, where ironstone mining began in 1848.

Before the mine, Skinningrove was a small coastal community. The arrival of ironstone mining transformed Skinningrove.
Workers came with their families, houses were built and the village grew.

By the 1880s, hundreds of men worked at the mine, most of them underground. They worked long hours in difficult and dangerous conditions, hand-mining the ironstone before getting it back to the surface.

Pit horses worked underground too, hauling small mine wagons, known as tubs, filled with ironstone through the workings.

By then Skinningrove wasn't only mining ironstone. The ironworks had arrived too, with huge blast furnaces on the cliffs above the village.

A jetty was built out into the sea and Skinningrove became part of the much bigger Cleveland iron and steel industry.

It can be difficult to picture now.

Stand on Skinningrove beach today and you've got a quiet, a few fishing boats and the cliffs.

More than a century ago, the same little valley had a mine, furnaces, railways, workshops, smoke, steam and hundreds of people earning their living from iron.

Mining at Loftus Mine finally ended in September 1958, 110 years after it had begun.

There is a photograph from those final days showing miners gathered around the last tub of ironstone to come out of the mine.
And the men in it still have names.

They weren't simply “the miners”. They were people from this community, with homes and families here.
There will still be people who remember some of them, or whose fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers worked alongside them.

That is partly why what happened next matters.

As the Cleveland ironstone mines closed, local journalist Tom Leonard could see that the tools, photographs, documents and memories of that way of life could disappear with them.

So he started collecting them.

What began as Tom's collection eventually led to the opening of Skinningrove Ironstone Mining Museum, and that museum became the Land of Iron we have today. 🧡
And it's still here where the mine was.

Some of the old mine buildings still form part of Land of Iron today.

It's here because this is where the mine was, and because people made sure that part of Skinningrove wasn't lost.

There are still reminders of that past all around the village once you know what you're looking at — and plenty more has disappeared.
🧡

Does anyone reading this have family who worked at Loftus Mine, Skinningrove Ironworks or elsewhere in the local ironstone industry?

Please share any old photographs or memories 🤎

🧡 Have you visited Land of Iron in Skinningrove?

Land of Iron may be best known as Skinningrove’s mining museum, but the museum is only part of what they bring to the village.

Throughout the year they host talks, exhibitions, live music, film screenings, heritage walks, workshops and family activities. During the school holidays there’s always plenty going on too — this summer has included fossil hunting, rock pooling, archaeology activities, Roman Day, iron printing and guided walks.

They also regularly bring temporary exhibitions to Skinningrove, including exhibitions of Chris Killip’s photography and work exploring the ironstone heritage of East Cleveland and North Yorkshire.
In 2025 Land of Iron received a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award, placing it among the top 10% of attractions worldwide based on visitor reviews, and was also a finalist for Best Museum or Cultural Venue in the North East Culture Awards.

What I really like is that their work goes far beyond the museum itself. They take people out around Skinningrove, along the coast and into the surrounding landscape, helping both locals and visitors discover more about the history, geology and community here.

For a small village, it’s quite something to have all of this on the doorstep. 🧡

Have you visited Land of Iron been to one of their talks or exhibitions, or joined one of their walks or activities? What have you enjoyed most?

On Sunday we’ll look back at the history behind Land of Iron — from the opening of Skinningrove’s ironstone mine to how its story came to be preserved in the museum we have today. ⚒️🧡

Apparently it’s International Dog Day today 🐾

We don’t usually get involved in all the different ‘days’, but this one felt quite appropriate for Stone Row Cottage 😊

We’ve welcomed lots of four-legged guests over the years, and we’ve always wanted the cottage to be genuinely dog friendly — not just somewhere that allows dogs.

Paws are welcome upstairs 🐾, there’s a secure enclosed courtyard, and Cattersty Sands beach is less than a five-minute stroll away and dog friendly all year round.

So here's to all our past, present and future four-legged guests ❤️🐾

Let’s see your beautiful doggies. Pop a photo in the comments 🐶🐾

Timm’s Coffee House, Skinningrove. ♥️

Originally built as Skinningrove Hall in 1704, this wonderful old building later became Timm’s Coffee House and was at the heart of village life for generations.

I expect Timm’s has some brilliant stories attached to it, so many local memories … and maybe a few lost ones too 🥴😅

It’s such a shame that Timm’s has been lost to the village. Who’d love to see it reopen again? 🍻
