Where the Heck’s Saltburn? Memories of childhood holidays in a North Yorkshire seaside town by Martin Jones
Where the Heck’s Saltburn? is a newly-published book which takes a light-hearted look back at childhood holidays at Saltburn-by-the-Sea in the 1950s and 1960s. The book tries to answer why a Surrey family would want to go all the way to North Yorkshire for their annual summer holidays, and who and what they found when they got there. It takes in visits to places such as Stockton, Whitby and Robin Hood’s Bay. Updated to the present, the book includes family photographs from the 1940s through to 2015. References to many of the characters, places and activities in the town make this a ‘must-read’ book for all who have known Saltburn over the years. Miniature Railway, Pier, Halfpenny Bridge, Social Clubs and Cosy Cinema. Ruby Street – our final destination…past Gosnay’s Butchers, Crake Hall House and Sea View guest houses. Old-fashioned interior, hard beds, weekly baths, but where? 1970s and 1980s – death and re-birth in the Victorian town. Present – surfing capital, allotments, mystery knitting, brass bands, steam on the Miniature Railway, WW1 recalled. Future – what the future might hold for Saltburn. All profits from this book will be given to the Teesside Hospice. Available now, price £9.99, from the Book Corner, Unit 1, Regency Buildings, Station Square, Saltburn.
