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.

Skelton Beck

Saltburn Lifeboat Station

Saltburn Lifeboat Station was located at Marine Terrace, on Saltburn Road, adjacent to the Ship Inn, just to the east side of Saltburn-by-the-Sea, on the coast of North Yorkshire. A lifeboat was first stationed at Saltburn in 1849 by the Tees Bay Lifeboat and Shipwreck Society (TBLSS). Management of the station was transferred to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in 1858. After 73 years service, Saltburn Lifeboat Station closed in 1922.

The Ship (pub)

The Ship is a historic pub in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Redcar and Cleveland, England. The pub dates back to the late 18th century and is the oldest pub in Saltburn as it was part of the old fishing village before the town was developed on the other side of Skelton Beck, upon arrival of the railways in the area. It was historically used for smuggling, as it is adjacent to the North Sea, and the building is now a grade II listed structure.
