Skinningrove history

The village had an agricultural and fishing economy until the opening of local ironstone workings in 1848. A railway was built by 1865, and iron smelting began in 1874. Mining continued until 1958 and primary iron production until the 1970s.

Oarfish

A rarely seen oarfish was caught by angler Val Fletcher in February 2003 . The fish was 11 ft 4 in (3.3 m) long and weighed 140 lb (63.5 kg) The Natural History Museum in London said it would have been interested in preserving the fish in its permanent collection . However the fish had been ‘cut up into steaks’ before any scientists could examine it .
