Saltburn – Cliff Lift

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.”
