North Skelton is a village in Redcar and Cleveland, North Yorkshire, England.
The village is 2km (01miles) south of Skelton-in-Cleveland, and just south of the A174 road between Thornaby and Whitby.[1] North Skelton experienced a boom in the 1870s when North Skelton Mine opened. The mine was the deepest of all of the Cleveland Ironstone workings and its shaft extended to over in depth.[2] The mine produced over of iron ore between its opening in 1872 and its closure in 1964.[3] [4] North Skelton railway station was on the line between Teesside and Whitby West Cliff. It opened in 1902 and closed in 1951. The line is still open to carry freight from Skinningrove Steelworks and Boulby Mine.[5] [6]
North Skelton lends its name to an English Long Sword Dance performed in the area.[7] [8] [9]
