Carr Cote Colliery, Rievaulx
This includes two groups of shafts on Todhill Beck to the south of Carr Cote Farm. The low group has some nine shafts, and the high group has twenty-one. Isaac Holmes leased the colliery from Christopher Slingsby Duncombe in 1781, but he appears to have been struggling by the time Seaton’s measurements began in 17861. Holmes was to pay £40 per acre of coal wrought when the seam was 12 inches thick, this amount varying with thickness. Judging from the low output between 1786 and 1788, however, Carr Cote must have been almost exhausted. Holmes was dead by 1789 when his widow, Elizabeth, took over. She gave up the mine in 1791.
