Description and History of Site:-
Silhowe Tramway On the moors above Darnholm are located disused opencast mine workings and a drift mine which extracted whinstone ore which was mainly used for road building. The ore was transported by a 3ft 6in (1.07m) gauge tramway to the south east corner of Goathland station site where a crushing plant was located on the bank side. Tubs were originally horse hauled but in latter days a car was used. Most of the track bed can still be followed though the final section to the drift mine has almost been lost.
