Saltburn 1

The most northerly surviving British Pier and the last remaining in Yorkshire, the history of Saltburn Pier tells a remarkable tale of a man made structure defying the elements. Built in an exposed position and facing due north into the unforgiving North Sea, the pier in the little resort of Saltburn was commissioned by the Saltburn Pier Company in 1867. Designed by Mr J Anderson the pier was completed two years later, opening in May 1869.
