Warren Moor Mine

The Warren Moor Mine, was a short-lived mining concern south of Kildale, North Yorkshire, England. Activity at the site was limited to drift mining, and although shafts were sunk to mine the underground schemes, these ventures failed. The site of the workings have been stabilised, and the old chimney is the only Victorian ironstone mining chimney left in the United Kingdom. The site was made safe in the 2010s to allow public access.

St Cuthbert's Church, Kildale

St Cuthbert's Church is the parish church of Kildale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. There was a church in Kildale in the mediaeval period. In 1848, it was described as "a very ancient structure, said to have been founded at an early period of the heptarchy", although it had been largely rebuilt in 1714. It was demolished and rebuilt in 1868, to a design by George Fowler Jones, in a 13th-century Gothic style. The building was grade II listed in 1966. The church is built of stone with Welsh slate roofs. It consists of a nave, a north aisle, a south porch, a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower. The tower has two stages, corner buttresses, a southeast stair turret with a trefoil band and a spire with a polygonal turret and a grotesque finial, a two-light west window and slit windows, single-light bell openings, a dentilled eaves band with gargoyles, and a pyramidal roof with a weathervane. Inside, there are two fonts, one probably 12th century and the other probably 16th century. There are four mediaeval grave covers in the porch, and the circular head of a mediaeval cross is at the west end. The east window has stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe.

Gisborough Moor

Gisborough Moor is a moor in England's North York Moors, lying to the south of the town of Guisborough. The summit is a broad flat ridge, with the highest point at the southern end, some 1 mile (1.5 km) south of a trig point. It is crossed by a number of footpaths leading between the Cleveland Way and Commondale and other settlements to the south. Highcliff Nab, near the moor's north-western corner, overlooks Guisborough from the edge of the scarp. 0.9 miles (1.4 km) from the highest point of the moor, on nearby Commondale Moor, (Grid reference NZ6469 1175) is a First World War memorial to two friends who worked on the Gisborough Estate and who left for London in 1914 to join the Grenadier Guards. One died on the Somme in 1916 (his body was never found) and the other died of his wounds in 1920. The memorial is now grade II listed. 2 miles (3.2 km) away, on nearby Great Ayton Moor (Grid reference NZ6020 1241), was the location of a Starfish site during the Second World War. A series of tanks were erected on the moor and filled with flammable liquid. When Luftwaffe bombing attacks were imminent, the liquid was set on fire and quenched so that the steam looked like a burning town or city. This fooled the Germans into harmlessly bombing the moor instead of the nearby industrial town of Middlesbrough, which was just to the north west.
