A postcard view of Saltburn pre 1974 it is believed. A lovely sunny day and the dark presence of Huntcliffe in the background cannot diminish the beauty of the beach. Callum Duff tells us: ”The Pier was finally reopened in 1952 after being breached as a precaution during WW2. The refurbishment between the end of the war and this date also saw the removal of the bandstand and the addition of glass screens on the two walkways, either side of the shore buildings. The pierhead was lost in 1974 so there’s a timeline of 22 years. I would guess that perhaps this image dates from around 1960 when the shore end buildings were weatherboarded and painted white before Saltburn’s Centenary Celebrations in 1961.”
