A very quiet promenade walk on this Easterly resort. Even though the weather was cold, a couple still take time for a nice sit down. Enjoy full size and have a great week.

Bright colours drive our eye and interest along these huts which in normal times would be streaming with outdoor seating for the visiting inhabitants. The Pip shows an alternative view. Enjoy full screen.

An old favourite subject for me in these Beach Huts. These here at Saltburn-on-Sea show the modern trend towards plastics. At least they still follow the tradition of bright colours. Of course all were closed in these days of Covid restrictions, with not a single visitor, but at least the Union Flag still flies happily. The Pip shows an alternative view. Enjoy full screen.

The Saltburn Cliff Lift is a funicular railway in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Redcar and Cleveland in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It provides access to Saltburn Pier and the seafront from the town. The cliff lift is the oldest operating water-balance cliff lift in the United Kingdom. Saltburn Cliff Lift was constructed between 1883 and 1884 to replace a vertical cliff hoist, designed by John Anderson, which was used to transport passengers up and down the steep north-facing cliff between the town and the pier. It improved access for tourists to the seafront and beach. Designed by George Croydon Marks for the manufacturer Richard Tangye, the cliff lift has a height of 120 feet (37 m) and a track length of 207 feet (63 m), resulting 71 per cent incline. A pair of 12-person cars, each fitted with a 240-imperial-gallon (1,100 L) water tank, run on parallel standard gauge tracks; by removing or adding the water to their tanks, movement is achieved, regulated by a brakeman at the top. The lift opened on Saturday 28 June 1884. The original cars have been replaced with aluminium counterparts and the top station restored, but little of the underlying mechanism has been changed since it was installed. Owned since the Second World War by the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland, the lift remains in regular use between March and October each year. It is one of Saltburn's most popular tourist attractions. Reportedly, the service was being used by an estimated 150,000 passengers per year by the twenty-first century. ~ WiKi

Saltburn, a seaside resort on our East coast just south of Redcar. Today it is a place where tourist flock in warm weather to sit on its beautiful beach, walk the long pier and also ride the popular Victorian cliff lift on its 120 feet ascent/decent (see PiP). There is even a very nice Italian garden here but I shall leave it up to the visitors to investigate that. Here we see the front promenade with the lift from the far end of the pier and showing parts of the main town above. Another pip shows the opposite end of the pier that was entered in our HFF group some weeks back. Enjoy full screen.

Back to last years Yorkshire coast week and we are here in Saltburn-by-the-sea. A charming Victorian town just south of the industrial town of Redcar and north of Whitby. This was a cold, miserable day as we get quite a lot of on this coast but it was nice to stroll up and down this lovely pier. Enjoy full screen.
