Saltburn-by-the-Sea

Saltburn-by-the-Sea, commonly referred to as Saltburn, is a seaside town in the civil parish of Saltburn, Marske and New Marske, in the Redcar and Cleveland unitary authority, North Yorkshire, England. It lies 12 miles (19 km) south-east of Hartlepool and 5 miles (8 km) south-east of Redcar, within the historic boundaries of the North Riding of Yorkshire and on the Cleveland Way long distance footpath. The development of Saltburn was driven by the discovery of ironstone in the Cleveland Hills and building of railways to transport the minerals.

Langbaurgh East

Langbaurgh East was a wapentake of the North Riding of Yorkshire, the eastern division of Langbaurgh, England. The name is now (as of 1 April 2005) in use as a local justice area (formerly a petty sessional division), consisting of the eastern and mostly rural part of the borough of Redcar and Cleveland. The eastern Wapentake in particular covered roughly the area of modern-day Redcar and Cleveland and the northernmost parts of the former Scarborough district within North Yorkshire. The boundary roughly follows from Wilton along to Redcar in the north and all the way down to Whitby in the south, across to Danby, west of Whitby, and then back up along the Cleveland Hills to Wilton.

Saltburn Cliff Lift

The Saltburn Cliff Lift is a funicular railway in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Redcar and Cleveland in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It provides access to Saltburn Pier and the seafront from the town. The cliff lift is the oldest operating water-balance cliff funicular in the United Kingdom. The Lift, constructed between 1883 and 1884, replaced an 1870 vertical cliff hoist. It has a height of 120 feet (37 m) and a track length of 207 feet (63 m), resulting in a 71 per cent incline. A pair of 12-person cars, each fitted with a 240-imperial-gallon (1,100 L; 290 US gal) water tank, run on parallel tracks; by removing or adding the water to their tanks, movement is achieved, regulated by a brakeman at the top. The original cars have been replaced with aluminium counterparts and the top station restored, but little of the underlying mechanism has been changed since it was installed. Owned since the Second World War by the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland and its predecessors, the lift remains in regular use between March and October each year. It is one of Saltburn's most popular tourist attractions. Reportedly, the service was being used by an estimated 150,000 passengers per year by the twenty-first century. The lift was extensively damaged by fire in January 2024 and reopened in September of the same year.
