Join me on my merry trek of old ruins, cinemas, railways and things that just catch my attention around Yorkshire and the UK. John.

Old Mine Cart Track in Baildon

View this post on Instagram

Ruts in old double paved track leading to ganister and coal mines. Iron wheeled corves were hauled or pushed by women from the mines to the village, the stones were set down to prevent the carts sinking into the boggy ground. Mining on the moor ceased in the nineteenth century. #brandcliffpit #minerstrack #baildon #baildonmoor
