Remains of the Guibal Fan House which provided ventilation for the Huntcliff Ironstone mine opened 1872 closed 1906


This building housed a Guibal fan 30 feet in diameter by 10 feet wide to provide ventilation to the Huntcliff Ironstone Mine. It was an exhauster fan which extracted foul air from the mine and discharged up the prominent square section chimney. The mine entrance went under the Cleveland Railway which still runs alongside to carry potash trains from the Boulby Mine. The mine operated from 1872 to 1906.
