Abstract:
Between July and September 2002, English Heritage carried out survey and analysis of the site of the disused alum works at Kettleness, on the coast of North Yorkshire. The investigation showed that portions of two banks of steeping pits and associated structures on the east side of the headland, plus elements of the later alum house on the west side, are being destroyed by cliff recession; part of the top end of the original access track to the works also disappeared in a major cliff collapse as recently as August 1999. Furthermore, the survey located parts of a probable liquor-trough tunnel, the routes of sundry other troughs or pipes, and the sites of a number of previously unknown buildings and calcining places. The remains of a small staithe are visible at low tide in Runswick Bay near the foot of the promontory, as are several lengths of rock-cut rutways. (This was report 24/2003 in a previous series)
