Description
"Lumpsey Pit is now hardly recognisable, as most of it was demolished in the late 1960’s, and the shale tips were levelled to a certain extent. Some foundations remain to show where the buildings once bellowed smoke and noise throughout its working life. Since the building of the new by-pass, the pit has become more visible as the road passes close to the old buildings and under the old main line. Lumpsey was the second ironstone mine at Brotton - the first was positioned near the railway station and only worked for a short time until the opening of Lumpsey, its shale tips now making a playground on Coach Road, the only indication of where this pit once stood. Lumpsey Pit was built next to the main East Coast railway line from Middlesborough to Whitby....." -
