Although postmarked from 1952, it is likely this postcard view of Saltersgate and across what is known as Fylingdales moor is possibly pre 1940; not a lot to see apart from sheep! Graham Denison tells us: “You can see the Saltersgate Pub, bottom of the bank on the left. Legend says ‘The fire is never to be allowed to go out or the excise man who is supposedly buried underneath it will start haunting the neighbourhood’. Pub closed and boarded up, guess the fire’s out too!”. By 2019 even the pub has gone now!!
