Raymond says:
These dwellings were originally Upper Cleveland Street and have survived at least 2 condemnations to my knowledge – Lower Cleveland Street (except for numbers 1 & 2 – looking very much like semi-detached bungalows still standing) was demolished many many years ago.

This clearly shows the road to Liverton Mines and off to the right the road to the station, in the foreground is the foundry.

not a clear photo, but in the middle of the foundry building the round structure of the cupola for melting the pig iron can be seen. a walk around loftus and district, will see many cast iron drain covers stamped either robinson bros or the later tinsley. a unique example of this foundrys output can be seen in loftus old cemetery, they specialised in cast iron grave markers, well worth a visit.  

once again thank you Eric.

Taken from the road leading to Liverton, in the foreground are the flats, built at the end and to the back of Cleveland Street and as ever dominating the skyline are the Iron and Steel works.

These flats named St Martin’s Close were built on the former St Martin’s Row which were part of the original Pit houses when Liverton mine was established. Thanks to Ray Brown for the information.

A clear photograph of the old bridge and to all those who passed underneath it the roman numerals (not in sight here) are forever remembered – MDCCCLXXIV.

A new bridge now spans the road built to accommodate the freight trains from the Potash mine at Boulby.
