More about this scene
Rather curiously, the High Street turns sharp right at this road junction, and heads down to the beach. The road in the centre distance is the Coast Road to Redcar. The Ship Inn on the right was re-built in the Tudor style in 1932, using oak beams from two famous wooden battleships for its external decoration.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
One of my very first memories was of a family holiday spent at the HF Cliff House around 1961 - I would have been 4 years old and my brother Stephen maybe 18 months.
I remember looking forward to the best bit of the day - our picnic lunch, (and, to this day, a famous HF institution!) on the beach. But oh ... the disappointment I felt when I accidentally ...see more

I played quite happily, the house looking through all the nooks and crannies. I remember being stung by a bee on the rockery which seemed to have a multitude of paths. I have now found out that my grandmother's side of the family 'Joseph ...see more
My memory of Marske is that of a summer holiday from Oaklands Home (mentioned on a previous page), I think it was on an army camp? on the clifftop. The sea was blinking freezing but the beach was lovely. We would walk along it to Saltburn in search of girls, well we were 11.HA. There was a funfair there and some shops; we all had a wonderful time. When the local people learnt we was from a home we got "treats". Happy days!!!
I lived with my family (Matthews) at 223 High Street from 1955 until 1963, brother David, sisters Cynthia and Jackie, parents Rene and Reg. I think my parents bought the house in 1952 as my brother was born in the back bedroom soon after. My sisters were already about 2 and 8 years old by then. We had an idyllic childhood. Very 'Enid Blyton', lots of outdoor adventures and lashings of lemonade! I ...see more
