Port Mulgrave A harbour was built in 1856-27 on Rosedale Wyke to ship ironstone from Charles Palmer&#039;s nearby mine. When the mine at Rosedale Wyke began to give out a mine (Grinkle Mine) was established three miles inland near Dalehouse. The ore was moved from the mine to the port along a tramway which finished in a tunnel a mile long emerging 10m above the sea in the cliff above the harbour. Ships were loaded from a gantry on the east harbour wall.
In 1916 Grinkle Mine was linked to the railway network and the harbour at Port Mulgrave began to fall into decay. The west harbour wall was destroyed by the army in World War II to prevent it being used by a potential German invasion.
Fishing cabins made mostly from flotsam and other found materials now line the base of the cliffs.
