HISTORY: wood beams across support lengthwise beams of deck.
The first seaside pier in the north east of England. Some
renewed steel trestles (Nos 21-30) removed during restoration.

cast-iron railway causeways. Truncated from 457m to 381m after
storms in 1875. Acquired in 1879 by the Saltburn Improvement
Company. Iron work was carried out by Messrs Cochrane and

remaining structure unchanged.
