An old postcard view of Old Saltburn as the road doesn’t look to be made up yet. I know a morgue was one of the three buildings on the right but what were the other buildings? Callum Duff assists with: “The building nearest the road was the Saltburn Lifeboat House. Saltburn had 3 lifeboats from its inception to 1924 when the last ‘The Mary Batger’ was auctioned. The middle building housed the Rocket Brigade who aided in the rescue of ship’s crewmen in heavy seas, Saltburn’s answer to International Rescue! After the sale of the last lifeboat, more sophisticated life-saving techniques and road widening, these two buildings were demolished.”
