Calcine Kilns Ruins, Rosedale. by TallGuy
Remains of the old calcine kilns at West Rosedale. In the 19th century ironstone mining changed the look of Rosedale, a valley in the North York Moors National Park… it became a bustling area, a railway was built to ferry the iron ore to the iron works in County Durham. The industry has now gone, the photo is of the remains of one of the kilns. The iron ore was tipped into the top of the kilns and then heated (roasted) to get rid of water and carbonic acid gas. This lightened the iron ore, making it easier and cheaper for transportation. The process was known as calcinations. / Because of the dark dramatic skies, I decided to try b/w, it has an older feel to it.

Staindale Lake by Paul McGuire
Taken at Staindale Lake, Dalby forest, North Yorkshire. The Staindales, High and Low, take their names from the Viking for ‘stony valley’. This is probably a reference to the rocky nature of nearby ravines and the amazing jurassic rock formations of the Bridestones and the Adderstone. A small attractive lake has been created in the valley providing a refuge for ducks and geese. Shot Details- / Canon EOS 400D. / 50 sec Shutter speed, f/5.6, ISO 100, Taken with Hoya R72 Infrared Filter.

Fordson Tractor - Cumbria by eddiej
Fordson Model N Standard Tractor Circa 1939 From 1933 Fordson Model N production was moved to the Ford Plant at Dagenham, Essex. The main advantages of the Model N Standard Fordson over the Model F were a more powerful engine of 27 h.p., a high tension ignition system, water pump and mudguards as standard equipment. Pneumatic tyres were an extra cost option, initially uptake was quite slow but once their advantages became appreciated many Model N owners replaced the iron wheels with pneumatic tyres, it was not uncommon that this would be for the rear wheels only. / This one I found abandoned by the side of what once was a set of farm buildings but have been converted into rather well presented and more luxurios homes at Kentmere in the lake district – Cumbria. / When one considers the amount of food we import to the UK this is a rather sad reflection on the declining farming industry..but it makes for a nice photograph.
