Skinningrove Ironworks, used two types of Slag Bogies. This photograph shows an end tipping Ladle. In later years they used side tipping Ladles. The chain used for emptying the Ladle is prominent, it runs under the Ladle, and when taken to the tip was attached to the engine, the slag ladle bogie scotched, the engine pulled away tipping the Ladle. This photo also gives a good view of the “tunnel” running along the Furnaces. The short headroom above the rail tracks, shows why Skinningrove had locomotives with cut down cabs and chimneys.

A fine sunny day at Saltburn. But where are the people?. Posted in 1905 and 1907 (we now have two copies of the same view) was produced by Valentine’s of Dundee. The site of the present car park is an empty waste land, swings across the road from the beach hut are deserted. I wonder if it was published for the sand and cliff views.

Zetland Foundry, Loftus; initially owned by Robinson Brothers, then Tinsley & Sons and now used by Brough & Horner (proprietor Steve Whitlock). Still connected with iron working, this image taken about 30 years ago, over looking the allotment, the owner had a fine crop of potatoes that year. Margaret Atkinson adds: “My uncle used this in the 1950s, I remember helping him to bundle kindling; hated the job but that’s what family was about.”

Photograph taken from the top of the new no 5 furnace, during construction around 1950. The twin conveyor belts from the coke tippler and ore crusher over the bunkers are still uncovered. On the right smoke is seen issuing from the “monkey” valves on top of the gas offtakes of No 3 furnace (nearest the camera) and No 1 blast furnaces. The twin rows of Furnace Cottages, and St Helens church are seen in the centre of the photograph.

These five views of Saltburn, are from a card posted in 1932. All of the views have changed over the years, none more so than the Pier; which is now a shorter version of it’s original length.

This coloured postcard of 1905, shows the upper harbour, many of the buildings and the dock itself have been demolished and altered out of recognition compared with modern photographs of the same scene. New Quay Road now runs through the Angel Hotel Vaults building on the quay side, and much of the dock was filled in and developed. Across the harbour, to the left of the now demolished St Michael’s Church, the wide slipway to the harbour was known as Alders Waste.
