Foxrush Farm Community Woodland was only planted in 1997 but is already pretty well established. The farm itself is now owned by Saltburn Animal Rescue Association (SARA). and is also the site of an Iron Age settlement


The carved fox is the work of Steve Iredale back in late 2007, as of 2011 a mosaic map of the area has also appeared, produced by the Redcar Community College

First Two Saltburn Mosaics
The first panel was unveiled on Wednesday 8th June as part of the Saltburn150 celebrations, it features the original 1870-1883 cliff hoist from before the cliff lift. Also the Halfpenny Bridge which stood from 1869-1974 is shown over the valley

The local artists are Helen Gaunt and Derek Mosey and the panels are being unveiled one a month, there will eventually be five.

A High Tide in Short Wellies, Saltburn
This steel sculpture by Ray Lonsdale is located outside the Artsbank in Saltburn

Whatever your opinion of the art, its size alone is certainly impressive.
Update : The sculpture is no longer at this location, at the end of 2011 it moved to Whitby before going to Filey after being purchased by Maureen Robinson
Mirage Mirror Boat – Coatham Marsh
This one is an art installation by Tees Valley Arts
Its pretty hard to get near, that photo is on 12x zoom but the local wildlife seems to like it.
Update : The work is called work “Mirage†and made by Tony Charles
Rosedale Miners Memorial Bench
Other than the nice view, I’m not totally convinced the benefit of this bench by the old railway track a good distance away from any of the actual ironstone mining sites. Personally I think the money would have been better spent on consolidation work at any of the three sets of calcining kilns that are crumbling away.

Hopefully the poem and reliefs of miners popping out of the top of Rosedale Chimney are by school children too.
