The railway running in front of the ruins serves Boulby Mine, linking it with Saltburn. The fanhouse can be seen in a wider context in NZ6921 : The Cleveland Way approaching Hunt Cliff.
Ruins of Fan House, Huntcliff Ironstone Mine

This building housed a Guibal fan 30 feet in diameter by 10 feet wide to provide ventilation to the Huntcliff Ironstone Mine. The mine entrance went under the Cleveland Railway which still runs alongside to carry potash trains from the Boulby Mine. The mine operated from 1872 to 1906.
