Tin City

Tin City as it was known locally was a row of housing started in 1906 for the workers at Boulby Ironstone Mine, although it was officially known as ‘Iron Cottages’ on the 1911 census. The mine closed in 1934 although people must have stayed on as school photos were taken in 1935 and 1936. Today all that remains are concrete foundations on which the houses once stood.
