I know it isn’t an old photograph but the trains are old so it qualifies

Another postcard this one dated 29th. January 1872, nice when they have the date on. Eric Johnson tells us: ”an interesting view of the short lived Glaisdale Ironworks. Three blast furnaces with barrow hoist can be seen, moving left the blast engine house with boiler chimney, then the trestle bridge of the mineral railway which ran up Glaisdale Rigg to ironstone quarrys. The smaller chimney was part of the shaft sunk to the main seam. Like the Runswick Bay Ironworks it was in the wrong place to be viable.”
Busy working on the fish quay.
A different view of Saltburn a photo loaned to us by Joyce Dobson.
Looking over to Upton Cottages and Street house Farm, took me a while to realise where it was. Thanks again to Eric Johnson for the loan of the photo.
It is still forgotten today and I don’t think the steps are still there, are they?
Destroyed by the look of it and yet the houses still stand today. Now am I right in saying that or were there two rows to Cleveland Street one of them being demolished? HELP
Not in very good shape by the look of it the mines certainly did some damage to property in 1938.
Ahhh is what comes to mind what a lovely peaceful scene, now another question, what did they call the boats in the foreground?
A different photo as this is the first one we have of Marske Hall what a beautiful building. Thanks go to Joyce Dobson for sharing that photo with us. |
