Saltburn Pier in North Yorkshire England
The Virtual Tourist walks around Saltburn Pier in North Yorkshire England
SALTBURN BY THE SEA, SATURDAY 30th APRIL. NORTH EAST UK DRONE FOOTAGE.
Saltburn-by-the-Sea, commonly referred to as Saltburn, is a seaside town in Redcar and Cleveland, North Yorkshire, England, around 26 miles (42 km) south-east of Hartlepool and southeast of Redcar.
It lies within the historic boundaries of the North Riding of Yorkshire. It had a population of 5,958 in 2011.
The development of Middlesbrough and Saltburn was driven by the discovery of ironstone in the Cleveland Hills and the building of two railways to transport the minerals.
Old Saltburn
Old Saltburn
Old Saltburn is the original settlement, located in the Saltburn Gill. Records are scarce on its origins, but it was a centre for smugglers, and publican John Andrew is referred to as 'king of smugglers'.
In 1856, the hamlet consisted of the Ship Inn and a row of houses, occupied by farmers and fishermen. In the mid-18th century, authors Laurence Sterne and John Hall-Stevenson enjoyed racing chariots on the sands at Saltburn.
Victorian era
Saltburn-by-the-Sea, the gardens, c. 1890–1900
The Pease family of Darlington developed Middlesbrough as an industrial centre and, after discovery of iron stone, the Stockton & Darlington Railway and the West Hartlepool Harbour and Railway Company developed routes into East Cleveland. By 1861, the S&DR reached Saltburn with the intention of continuing to Brotton, Skinningrove and Loftus; but the WHH&RCo had already developed tracks in the area, leaving little point in extending the S&DR tracks further.
In 1858, while walking along the coast path towards Old Saltburn to visit his brother Joseph in Marske-by-the-Sea, Henry Pease saw a prophetic vision of a town arising on the cliff and the quiet, unfrequented and sheltered glen turned into a lovely garden.
The Pease family owned Middlesbrough Estate and had control of the S&DR, and agreed to develop Henry's vision by forming the Saltburn Improvement Company (SIC). Land was purchased from the Earl of Zetland, and the company commissioned surveyor George Dickinson to lay out what became an interpretation of a gridiron street layout, although this was interrupted by the railway which ran through the site. With as many houses as possible having sea views, the so-called Jewel streets along the seafront—Coral, Garnet, Ruby, Emerald, Pearl, Diamond and Amber Streets, said to be a legacy of Henry's vision, were additional to the grid pattern.
The Zetland, now an apartment building, formerly the historic Zetland Hotel
After securing the best positions for development by the SIC, money was raised for construction by selling plots to private developers and investors. Most buildings are constructed using 'Pease' brick, transported from Darlington by the S&DR, with the name Pease set into the brick. The jewel in Henry Pease's crown is said to have been The Zetland Hotel with a private platform, one of the world's earliest railway hotels.
The parcel of land known as Clifton Villas was sold by the SIC in 1865 to William Morley from London who built the property, 'The Cottage' (now Teddy's Nook) on a site originally intended for three villas. The SIC stipulated in the deed of covenant that any trees planted along Britannia Terrace (now Marine Parade) were not to exceed 1' 6 above the footpath (46 cm) to preserve sea views for Britannia Terrace residents and visitors.
The Redcar to Saltburn Railway opened in 1861 as an extension of the Middlesbrough to Redcar Railway of 1846. The line was extended to Whitby as part of the Whitby Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway.
Geography
The coastline at Saltburn lies practically east–west, and along much of it runs Marine Parade. To the east of the town is the imposing Hunt Cliff, topped by Warsett Hill at 166 metres (545 ft). Skelton Beck runs through the wooded Valley Gardens in Saltburn, then alongside Saltburn Miniature Railway before being joined by Saltburn Gill going under the A174 road bridge and entering the North Sea across the sandy beach. The A174 road number is now used for the Skelton/Brotton Bypass.
Cliff lift
The Saltburn Cliff Lift is one of the world's oldest water-powered funiculars—the oldest being the Bom Jesus funicular in Braga, Portugal. After the opening of Saltburn Pier in 1869, it was concluded that the steep cliff walk was deterring people from walking from the town to the pier. After the company was taken over by Middlesbrough Estates in 1883, they discovered that the wooden Cliff Hoist had a number of rotten supports.
The Saltburn tramway, as it is also known, was developed by Sir Richard Tangye's company, whose chief engineer was George Croydon Marks. The cliff tramway opened a year later and provided transport between the pier and the town. The railway is water-balanced and since 1924 the water pump has been electrically operated. The first major maintenance was carried out in 1998, when the main winding wheel was replaced and a new braking system installed.

Places to see in ( Yorkshire - UK ) Roseberry Topping
Places to see in ( Yorkshire - UK ) Roseberry Topping
Roseberry Topping is a distinctive hill in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated near Great Ayton and Newton under Roseberry. Its summit has a distinctive half-cone shape with a jagged cliff, which has led to many comparisons with the much higher Matterhorn in Switzerland. It forms a symbolic image of the area and featured as the logo for the now defunct county of Cleveland.
At 1,049 feet (320 m), Roseberry Topping was traditionally thought to be the highest hill on the North York Moors; however, the nearby Urra Moor is higher, at 1,490 feet (450 m). It offers views of Captain Cook's Monument at Easby Moor and the monument at Eston Nab.
The hill is an outlier of the North York Moors uplands. It is formed from sandstone laid down in the Middle and Lower Jurassic periods, between 208 and 165 million years ago, which constitutes the youngest sandstone to be found in any of the National Parks in England and Wales. Its distinctive conical shape is the result of the hill's hard sandstone cap protecting the underlying shales and clays from erosion by the effects of ice, wind and rain.
The Roseberry area has been inhabited for thousands of years and the hill has long attracted attention for its distinctive shape. A Bronze Age hoard was discovered on the slopes of the hill and is now in the Sheffield City Museum. It was occupied during the Iron Age; walled enclosures and the remains of huts dating from the period are still visible in the hill's vicinity.
The hill was perhaps held in special regard by the Vikings who settled in Cleveland during the early medieval period and gave the area many of its place names. They gave Roseberry Topping its present name: first attested in 1119 as Othenesberg, its second element is accepted to derive from Old Norse bjarg ('rock'); the first element must be an Old Norse personal name, Authunn or Óthinn, giving 'Authunn's/Óthinn's rock'. If the latter, Roseberry Topping is one of only a handful of known pagan names in England, being named after the Norse god Odin and paralleled by the Old English name Wodnesberg, found for example in Woodnesborough. The name changed successively to Othensberg, Ohenseberg, Ounsberry and Ouesberry before finally settling on Roseberry.

A Walk Around Botton Village
A Short video around some parts of Botton Village, located in the North Yorkshire Moors. (
I was on a 7 month placement here through Lattitude Global Volunteering. (lattitude.org.au) As a Co-Worker, I work alongside the villagers in the village.
Most of this footage was shot over a single weekend. See if you can work out which one wasn't. The footage was shot using an xshot camera stick, and was a bit shaky at times. It has been fixed automatically by YouTube, but may still look a bit weird at times. I will be doing a lot more filming over the duration of my placement, and sharing some of it here.
Please note: Due to privacy and ethical reasons, I have avoided including villagers in distinguishable shots. That is to say, I have not filmed a scene with villagers as the primary subject.

HOW BIG IS IT? | REDCAR | TEESSIDE | DOLPHINS | WIND TURBINES | NORTH YORKSHIRE
We spend our first couple of days at REDCAR NORTH YORKSHIRE COAST, never been here before and are pleasantly surprised at such a beautiful location with fantastic locals. We get to see many ships passing through the TEESSIDE estuary and chat with many locals who give us insights into the areas history. The view across the estuary facing the WIND TURBINES is picturesque. We also get to watch a school of BOTTLENECK DOLPHINS each night coming past the estuary.
We are Kev & Yvonne and 3 Shih Tzu's, Charlie, Dolly & Delilah we first started our travels in a converted VW T6 that we brought from new as a panel van. After one year of travelling around we decided we need to find something that was more comfortable and less strenuous to set up.
That's when we fell in love with the Knaus Motorhome.
This is some of the videos and pictures we have taken on our motorhome travels around the UK.
Motorhome: Knaus Sun Ti 650MF
We travel around the country and more recently Europe in our Motorhome with our three Shih Tzu’s taking wildlife photography and flying our drone for aerial photography and love to share it with a wider audience. We would like to take further steps and start doing commentary about the things that we see on our travels as our channel grows.

DB Cargo Teesside Workings - Trash, Potash and Steel
Friday is my day off, so I kind of feel obliged to get out with my camera whatever the weather. Today was no exception, with gales and driving rain battering the north east of England for much of the morning.
To begin with I headed to Thornaby, to see the empty 6M16 Wilton binliners heading back down to Knowsley for refilling with trash. DB Cargo's 66063, as featured on the thumbnail, took charge of the train, which left Tees Yard more than 30 minutes late. The wind was really battering my camera, so apologies for the noise.
I had planned to head down to Eaglescliffe, but with time now pressing I decided to hold on a while longer at Thornaby for the arrival of the daily 6N31 steel slabs from Scunthorpe to Lackenby. DB's 60044 Dowlow hauled today's impressively long train, which actually terminated short at Tees Yard.
Stockton, to historic home of the railway, was my next stop. By this stage the strong winds were subsiding. I could see there was a train in Hartlepool Pipe Works, so I planned on catching that on its return to Tees Yard. On arrival at Stockton, to my pleasant surprise, there was actually a second freight coming through on its return from Sunderland Londonderry Sidings. DB's 66109 Teesport Express and 66011 hauled trains 6N27 and 6Z51 respectively.
From there I headed to Marske to see the 6N40 steel slabs destined for Skinningrove, again hauled by 66109 Teesport Express. After a quick bite of lunch at The Victoria in Saltburn I returned to Marske to see DB's 66068 hauling a load of potash to Ayrton rail terminal (6F34) and 66109 taking its steel empties back to Tees Yard (6N53).
