TIME LINE Opened in May 1869 Saltburn Pier was 1,500 feet long. 1958 two piles were lost, costing a further £6,000. 1961 another twenty piles were twisted in storms. 1971 and 1973, piles were lost at the end leaving the pier in a dangerous state. 1974 the pier head was lost and the deck damaged, leaving a length of 1,100 feet long.[3] 1975 the council submitted an application to have the pier demolished. A "Save the Pier" campaign led to a public enquiry, which concluded that only the final thirteen piers could be removed.[1] This left the pier 681 feet in length 1979, the council refurbished both the pier and the Cliff Lift.
Excellent videos - honest! They make North Yorkshire look stunning, as it most certainly is as times. I only wish that the council would see to the problem of putting ashtrays & bins along the clubbing & pub strip at Redcar, & the new bus station at the clock. The top end of Redcar town actually needs re-doing & upgrading to come into line with further down the high street. A discount on Brotton & Loftus shops would help the villages not turn their little high streets into boarded up empty buildings & help the locals not have to travel to Redcar to do all their daily shopping requirements , like visiting a bank, etc.
Our favourite place for a day out from Nottingham! Nice footage may bring my mini 2 next time.

Thanks 40BigCD. As a drone pilot we have to keep away from buildings. Sorry
What if you join FPV you can fly under article 16 no matter what sz drone you have.
A great little film, it makes me very nostalgic for home. Next time can we have some views from the town's buildings? Keep up the good work!
