This new information board includes a lot of information on his life and a drawing of the man himelf. Additionally it also credits the sculpture to Michael Johnson not just Hilary Cartmel as I originally stated.

Saltburn Water Tower

Saltburn Water Tower was built in 1865 and designed by North Eastern Railway Company architect William Peachey who is also responsible for Saltburn Station.
Saltburn Water Tower
It supplied water to Saltburn with water pumped from Skelton Beck, although its useful life was short-lived until water was piped from Lockwood Beck in 1878.

Railway staff lived in the lower floors of the water tower, but sadly it was demolished and redeveloped in 1905. The distinctive light Pease bricks were reused to build the nearby houses known as “Water Tower Terrace”

A 150ft Olympic themed scarf has appeared on the railing of Saltburn pier, the amount of time and effort required must have been huge but the creators remain anonymous at this time.

Saltburn Cliff Hoist

Before its well known cliff lift, Saltburn had a cliff hoist between 1870 and 1883.

The wooden structure built by John Anderson of the Saltburn Improvement Company dropped people 120 feet to the pier level and must have been a pretty intimidating journey.

The new plaque to mark the location was unveiled by Councillor Vera Rider on Thursday July 28 2011.
