When built in 1935 this was designated as an Auxiliary Coastguard Watch Station
Between 1939 and 1945 it became a War Watch station, insulators on the rear of the building indicate its telephone connection to the adjacent Radar Station.
The building remained in use by the coastguard until 1972 and was rennovated in 1999 as part of the Heritage Coast Project.
It still commands excellent views over the coast.

The radar station was constructed in 1941 as part of the Coastal Defence/Chain Home Low early warning system. It was designated site M47 and the original radar was mounted on top of the semi-circular transmitter and receiving hut as shown in the illustration.

The site was later upgraded to be part of the Chain Home Extra Low system and was redesignated K47, with a new Transmitter and Receiving block.
There are two smaller buildings, one of which housed a generator and the other a fuel store.
At the other end of the field near the old railway, the bases of several accomodation blocks can be see, but none of the structure remains.

This brickworks was setup in 1900 to provide bricks for the nearby Ravenscar development that never materialised, it is located inside an old Alum quarry.
The remains of the single large Hoffman Kiln are still to be found on the site.
Although heavily overgrown the outer doors can still be identified
Despite the failure of Ravenscar, the brickworks was next to the railway and found work supplying bricks to Scarbrorough until the 1930s. The chinmeys on the site remained in place until demolition in the 1960s.
A bridge nearby still stands that carried the abanboned Whitby to Scarborough line

The tunnel was buiilt around 1885 and stands on the abandoned Scarborough-Whitby line
The tunnel was cut so W.H. Hammond, the lord of Raven Hall, didn’t have to see the railway actually crossing his land.
The tunnel is only 279 yards long but has a sharp curve and with the gradient up to Ravenscar being 1-in-39 it proved troublesome for many trains.

This mill is said to date from 1858, and unusually stands in a disused state rather than having been converted into a house.
I know Ravenscar is actually 30 miles from the Tees, but the site shall be taking a short holiday there for the next few days.

An ironstone tramway between the Chalenor mines near Guisborough and the Eston mines was built in 1914 when the underground link was severed.
Several traces of this remain, including this culvert for Moordale Beck with the 1914 date carved into the arch.
The arching has been strengthened a long time ago as the two lower tubes both resemble riveted boiler pipes.

Very little information exists on the Saltburn Alum works which operated 1670-1695 and 1765-1775.
The semi-circular sandstone structure with a water-tight clay lining that is currently eroding out of the cliff strongly resembles a cistern for alum liquor such as those seen at well known alum working sites such as Boulby and Loftus.
Much timber and brickwork is also present, suggesting there was a building adjacent and perhaps even steeping pits.
The site is gradually being destroyed by erosion as a central wooden post was originally visible in the cistern.
