This
is not William, but an image of an ironstone mine worker
Margrove Park Mine -1900
This
is an early image of Margrove Park Mine or Magra as it is still known locally. In front of
the wooden headgear over the downcast shaft you can see the top of the upcast
shaft with the smoke coming from the fire at its base to induce ventilation in
the mine. This shaft top was later heightened and a pulley wheel installed on
the top; this is now the structure which still survives on the site. The mine
closed about 1924; it stood on the site of the present day Caravan Park and
connected to the Boosbeck to Middlesbrough railway via a single track which
crossed the road from Charltons to Boosbeck with
a gated crossing. The village of Margrove Park;
known as Magra Park – after the deer park which
was here originally – was built in a large rectangle, one side of which was the
local shops – all of which were demolished due to mining subsidence (after the
mine had closed and they fell into disuse). The only remaining example of
a shop (the Co-operative) is the pre-fab building on the opposite side of the
road to the village garden. Bob Clements tells us: ”The railway crossing at Magra was a gated crossing. The gates were still there
when I was a lad at Magra. That was in the
1940s. I can’t remember when they finally disappeared.” Helen commented: “I
have just been walking around this area and found a cordoned off mine shafts in
the woods behind the caravan park, but couldn’t tell my younger sister if it
was a mine shaft or not!”
