An excellent tinted postcard view of the lift at Saltburn. Interesting this can be dated to before 1925; Callum Duff has assisted with: “These rectangular buildings replaced the original octagonal structures around 1895. The pier was breached by SS Ovenbeg in 192;4 so the photograph was taken between these two dates. In 1925, a theatre was built between the two buildings so that the pier could continue as an attraction whilst being repaired.”

Saltburn pier on a lovely clear February day in 1972, just to prove the sun does shine even in the winter and could be mistaken for much later in the year.

This view of the Halfpenny Bridge; again in February 1972, looking downstream. The roof of the toll cottage can just be seen at the far end of the bridge. Alan Golden comments: “Lovely photos Owen of Saltburn. Do you have any photos of the Manor School on the north side of the bridge in the late 1960’s?”

Owen Rooks wrote to the Archive and advised: “The attached image is of a newly delivered shiny locomotive named ’Prince Charles’ purchased by Mr. Cyril Pickering in 1954 for his Saltburn Miniature Railway. My dad had retired from British Rail the previous year and had been commissioned by Mr. Pickering to supervise the replacement of the entire track with heavier metals to accommodate the new locomotive which came from the Lakeside Miniature Railway in Southport. Of course, I had to ’help’ with the task, even being allowed to drive the new locomotive quite often. I believe that ’Prince Charles’ still survives at Saltburn after all these years.”

Do you remember The Ship Inn like this? The buildings behind the Ship Inn were various chalets, I remember cows grazing on Cat Nab. Pat Sparkes recalls: “I remember they use to have an old WWII mine in the car park as a collecting money sadly all that was left was a pile of rust last time we called in to the pub.

A different view of Saltburn; not a lot of sand for any to enjoy the beach. Except the hardy souls at the foot of the slipway!
