Skinningrove Mine

I’d never seen a view from this angle before and I’m still trying to get to grips with it.  Carlin How in the background, with the ”Zig-Zag” cutting across the middle of the picture. The building directly in front is the loading shed where the iron ore was loaded into standard gauge wagons. I think I need help with this one please! The image was taken from the road which passes above Deepdale woods down to Skinningrove village. Peter Appleton asks: “Would the set of tubs leaving the image centre-right be using the north drift? Are the roofs and chimney stacks just to the left of the “E” of East, the Overmen’s Terrace cottages?
