This was the first iron pier to be built on the North East Coast and is the most northerly surviving British Pier. It is the only remaining pleasure pier on the North East coast. Commissioned by the Saltburn Pier Company in 1867, it was designed by Mr John Anderson and completed two years later, opening in May 1869. Lots of information and images here: www.saltburnbysea.com/html/pier.html

The wreck of the Monreith. On the 12th November 1900, the two masted sailing schooner Monreith, from the Galloway port of Wigton, was carrying a load of 110 tons of granite kerb stones from Newcastle in County Down, Northern Ireland to Silloth in England. A storm blew up and she attempted to take shelter in the mouth of Kirkudbright Bay (behind Little Ross Island, the island with the lighthouse on the horizon.) The bay was not yet deep enough and she grounded and was driven onto the sand banks of Goat Well Bay where her timbers were pounded by the surf until she sank. Her crew were able to launch a boat in her lee and made their way safely ashore just as the Kirkcudbright lifeboat arrived.

A few of the Anthony Gormley "Another Place" cast iron statues on Crosby beach. Seen on a trip to look at the brick rubble bank along the coastline just north of here.

In 1942 Liverpool had suffered heavy bombing and large amounts of material from both housing and docks had to be cleared up quickly. It was decided to take the rubble to Crosby where it was tipped along the beach as coastal protection. Subsequently more tipping has taken place to form a brick beach of well over a mile in length. This is a fascinating place to wander about with plenty of opportunity to find the products of long forgotten brickworks across north-west England and north Wales.

Statues from Anthony Gormley's 'Another Place' on Crosby beach. I like the view in this direction because of the industrial background, comprising the Seaforth container terminal, which adds a lot to the overall atmosphere.

Hot and happy after a run and a splash.

A hard place to lie but hopefully nobody will notice Cass snoozing at the back of the beach.
