A view of Cragg Hall ironstone mine viewed possibly from the road linking Brotton and Carlin How. The mine operated from 1871 to 1892, the only indication of the existence of the mine is the cottages and farm on the hillside. The mine was named after the farm, the cottages came later and after the mine closed a collection of building, which stood below the road (now a grassy field) were known as Cragg Hall cottages, they were demolished in 1966. Simon Chapman confirms our belief in the view: ”This view is from the road looking towards the sea. The two shafts shown here were south of the railway whereas the fan house (to left) was on the seaward side.”

A postcard view dating from 1960 and showing the road with remarkably little traffic. Obviously ideal for walking the pram!

A “JAY EM JAY Series” postcard dating from 1907, the senders of the card were returning to Redcar after ‘A wet morning’. Still the views of Saltburn are really wonderful.

A northbound train of the Sandsend viaduct. I often wonder when this image was taken, knowing that my mother-in-law used to work on Bridling Station (in the railway buffet) pre WWII, but lived in Sandsend. She travelled daily; todays commuters have it easy. As the time spent travelling must have been considerable, owing to the pace of those local trains!

A view of Saltersgate looking north, in the days before the Fylingdales ‘golf balls’ or the more modern ‘pyramid’. The horse and cart approaching the notoriously steep hill would have been disturbed in modern times by the low-flying aircraft or the speed of modern day traffic.
