Old Mulgrave Castle - Sandsend, North Yorkshire
Its been over 22 years since I was here last. The first time the site was very overgrown and it was hard to see any of the building such was the extent of the ivy, thickets and undergrowth.
Thankfully on this visit the English Heritage team have done a lot of work clearing and renovating this 13th century castle and keep.
A fantastic place build some +800 years ago - also a lovely walk up and through the woods to find it.

The walk then meanders through the farmland towards Mickleby and then head north joining the permissive path on the old route of the Saltburn - Whitby railway line and then returning back to Kettleness.

These 13 photos were found amongst family photos. Sandsend was a holiday destination in the late 1800s. Nothing is known about the people in these photos, or who took them.

Resounding Mulgrave Video
Resounding Mulgrave explores the post-industrial landscape of Port Mulgrave, north of Scarborough, UK. It is one of three artistic interventions exploring and reinterpreting the Rotunda Museum, Scarborough (created by the father of modern Geology, William Smith), as part of the Arts Council England funded Dictionary of Stone, curated by Lara Goodband. The work was a collaboration between poet John Wedgwood Clarke and sound artist Rob Mackay, with technical and artistic support from Tariq Emam. The installation combines poetry, sound, video and performance:
‘There’s a fossil shell by my foot the colour and texture of grey opaque glass, perfectly moulded, complete with a scallop’s bow and ridges. Right next to it, but 183 million years later, there’s a limpet. The gap in time between the two doesn’t seem to exist, but I know that it does.’ (poetry extract)
This awareness of the silent, pre-human gap between our present and geological past motivated our exploration of the coast between Port Mulgrave and Staithes. We used words and sound, both found and structured, to play within this silence and make connections between the ‘pastoral’, the ‘sublime’, and the history that has flowed from the smelting of the ironstone for which this stretch of the North Yorkshire coast is geologically famous.
Our lives and cultures are shaped by the rocks under the soil. Our post-industrial ruins are part of the on-going geology as well as history of the area: the mine workings between Port Mulgrave and Staithes are fossil burrows in the making. We hope that we’ve evoked something of this haunting place, and the way it provokes awareness that we’re a species among other species, dangling by a thread.

Sandsend and the neighbouring village of East Row began as separate villages, but were joined when extra cottages were built for workers in the alum industry. Sandsend was also buoyed by tourism from the Whitby, Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway, which ran through the village from 1855 to 1958. The local station was Sandsend railway station, which opened in 1883 and also closed in 1958.
Two becks empty into the North Sea at Sandsend; Sandsend Beck and East Row Beck. Both of these becks flow through Mulgrave Woods and were bridged by the railway on high viaducts across the village. Sandsend is located on the coastal part of the 110-mile (180 km) Cleveland Way and it follows the course of the old railway line northwards.
