This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not responded to my note I am archiving it.

Guidelines:**You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing.**

Geocache Description:


Children from Seton School hid this Geocache as part of the Coast Alive Project with the North York Moors National Park and Cleveland Way Nationals Trail Officer. This was the first time that they had been Geocaching and they produced the following work to descibe themselves and the place where they hid their cache.

We are a small primary school in Staithes called Seton Community Primary School and in our class we only have 14 children. We are one and a half miles from where we hid our geocache and we hope you have fun trying to find it.

Let us tell you about the place we hid it.

Port Mulgrave
In the 1850s Sir Charles Palmer opened his first ironstone mine on his costal property at Rosedale Wyke. He later changed the name to Port Mulgrave in honour of the Earl of Mulgrave, a local landowner. It was built so the iron could be taken by boat to Jarrow for using in the shipyards. Later on, Charles Palmer opened up a mine at Grinkle becasue iron stone began to dwindle in Port Mulgrave. In 1934 the last machines were sold and a wooden crane accidently burnt down. During the Second World War the pier was blown up to stop the Germas invading. So, Port Mulgrave closed down.

Lots of people visit Port Mulragve now becasue you can find jet and things from the Jurassic times such as fossils.
