More about this scene
As with many Victorian seaside resorts, Saltburn boasted elaborate, well kept, (and labour intensive) public gardens, as seen here in the Italian Gardens. Across the valley behind, known as Rifts Wood, is the footbridge known as the Ha'penny Bridge - a reference to the toll which was levied when crossing the bridge.

A Selection of Memories from Saltburn-By-The-Sea
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Saltburn-By-The-Sea
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I was brought up and went to school in Saltburn, and was married at Saltburn Parish Church. I have wonderful memories of walks on the beach and in Rifts Wood and Beach Wood with my grandad and our greyhounds. Also going to Raps cafe with my Nana. I also recall a lovely lady called Carmina, who put on outdoor shows on the bottom prom, on a concrete 'stage' just past the beach huts/chalets. She invited ...see more
My memory often takes me back to the early 50’s when l was a pupil at Saltburn High School but earlier than that l recall being taken to the cafe at Saltburn pier which had Lloyd loom chairs and glass topped tables.It all seemed very posh to me. I lived in Redcar with my aunt and uncle and when my Father was able , he came from Leicester to see me. The special treat was a visit to Saltburn pier for a knickerbocker glory. It is now a lifetime away but the memories linger on!
I was ten years old when I was enrolled at Glenhow prep school. My parents worked in Kenya and thought it would be a good idea to send their son to boarding school instead of being with all my friends in Kenya.
I was expelled at the age of 13 and moved on to Lindisfarne College in Wales.
I loved Saltburn, it holds some happy memories for me. The head master at that time was Mr Rayson who I think moved on to somewhere in York.
Are there any boy's that went to Glenhow at that time.
I worked here from 1963 until 1967 as an apprentice chef, it was quite grand then. Does any one reading this know of anyone else who worked there between these years?
There were two managers in my time Irwin and Lyons, a barman called Luigi, a head waiter called Victor. The head chef for part of that time was André Lys.
I'd be pleased to hear from anyone.
