The place is Rosedale up on the heights of the North York Moors National Park. The year was around 2008. I was using a Pentax 67 loaded with Fuji Velvia 50 slide film. My scanner is an Epson V700 that I bought back in 2006.
The image shows a row of historic iron ore kilns on what is known as the Rosedale loop. The loop refers to an old steam railway that was also up here to feed the kilns with iron ore mined from close by. Access to this place was by a steep gradient known as 'Ingleby Incline'. The roasted iron ore would later be taken to steel works in Middlesborough.
In spite of what it used to be, the place is now almost completely still and silent, lonely and lost.
