Shows them off a treat and is that the complete pier in the background? Callum Duff advises us: ” Saltburn pier as originally built was 1500 feet long. The pier was shortened after a storm in 1874 destroyed the landing stage and pierhead. The now 1250 feet pier is the one we can see in this postcard. This pierhead was lost in 1974 and the pier was further shortened to its present length to reopen in 1979.”
