The only time you would have got this view a few years ago was if you were on the steel works, but it does show the jetty off very well.

Skinningrove Works, 2006

Thanks to Owen Rooks for this photograph and following caption:

This is a shot I took from a helicopter of the works site in June 2006. I don’t know what goes on there these days so I’ll leave it to the experts to identify any noteworthy features!

Sandra tells us that Brian took this photo of the train crossing the bridge below Carlin How, and the next photo, from their bedroom window on St. Hilda’s Terrace.  

The train is ’The Boulby Flyer’ on the first excursion organised by Saltburn Railtours in August 1995.  This trip took place in the Saltburn Victorian Week.  (Thanks to their website for this information). 

Thanks to Sandra Hutchinson for the photograph.

Not a very clear picture, but as we don’t have many of Grinkle mine we felt we had to publish it. Anyone got any more photos they would like to share with us?

Dad and Mr Burnley?

This photograph of Harry Grange and Mr. Burnley was taken on Skinningrove Works.  Mr. Grange was a research chemist at the steel works. His daughter Carolyn is unsure about the identity of the other gentleman in the image, it could possibly be Norman Dales?
