Port Mulgrave was once the heart of a thriving local mining industry, a village that bustled with state of the art industrial activity. In the early 1850s Sir Charles Palmer opened his first ironstone mine on his coastal property at Rosedale Wyke. The harbour costing £45, 000 was built within a year and was formally opened in 1857. It was built so that the mined iron ore could be cheaply transported, by sea, to Jarrow to feed Charlie & George Palmers blast furnaces on Tyneside which produced steel for the shipyards. Palmer renamed his coastal property Port Mulgrave in honour of the Earl of Mulgrave, a prominent local landowner.
