This building which is sited opposite the end of Staithes Lane (is now converted into a house0 but the round tower on the top had to stay. This photograph tells us the hospital was opened on the 20th March 1915. Simon Chapman advised: “As it says on the picture it was the Miners Hospital for any casualties at Grinkle or Boulby Mines. After both of these mines had closed in the 1930s then the hospital was closed as well.” Mike Leyland has assisted with: “I believe the building was owned by the Grinkle Estate and was sold in 1947 along with the rest of the properties and land belonging to the estate.”
