Old Saltburn

Old Saltburn is the original settlement, located in the Saltburn Gill. Records are scarce on its origins, but it was a centre for smugglers. In 1856, the hamlet consisted of the Ship Inn and a row of houses, occupied by farmers and fishermen.

Victorian era

Pease family of Darlington developed Middlesbrough as an industrial centre. After discovery of iron stone, the Stockton & Darlington Railway and the West Hartlepool Harbour and Railway Company developed routes into East Cleveland. By 1861, the S&DR reached Saltburn with the intention of continuing to Brotton, Skinningrove and Loftus; but the WHH&RCo had already developed tracks in the area.

Saltburn-by-the-Sea landmarks

A forest walk in the Valley Gardens gives access to the Italian Gardens and leads on to the railway viaduct. On the shore of Old Saltburn stands the Ship Inn, which dates to the 17th century.

Cliff lift

Saltburn Cliff Lift is one of the world’s oldest water-powered funiculars. It was developed by Sir Richard Tangye’s company, whose chief engineer was George Croydon Marks. The railway is water-balanced and since 1924 the water pump has been electrically operated.

Pier

Saltburn’s attractions include a Grade II* renovated pier, the only pleasure pier on the whole of the Northeast and Yorkshire coast. Saltburn is located in Saltburn, Yorkshire.

Miniature railway

The Saltburn Miniature Railway is a 15 in (381 mm) gauge railway. It runs from Cat Nab Station close to the beach, for about ½ mile inland. Forest Halt is a woodland walk and the Italian Gardens.

Public houses

Saltburn’s first public house (independent of an existing hotel) was The Victoria, opened on 8 December 1982. As the town had been founded by Quakers, the SIC had a ban on public houses. Alcohol was served in the hotels and bars attached to them, and in private members’ clubs.

Teddy’s Nook (The Cottage)

Teddy’s Nook is a house built in 1862 by Henry Pease, a director of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. Pease was responsible for the foundation of the seaside resort. Lillie Langtry—The Jersey Lily, stayed at the house at sometime between 1877 and 1880.
