Secret Redcar, Marske and Saltburn
The town of Redcar and the resort of Saltburn-by-the-Sea, with the adjoining village of Marske-by-the-Sea, lie on an 8-mile stretch of the coast in north-east England. Centuries ago, the beaches were ideal for smugglers. In this book author Colin Wilkinson reveals the stories behind how these once small villages along a remote coast grew into the present-day resorts.
In the twentieth century war left its mark on the area. The arrival of the railway in the nineteenth century brought an influx of visitors and at the same time new industries emerged following the discovery of iron ore in the local hills, bringing in more people looking for work. In the First World War lookout posts were set up on the beaches, an early warning station was built to listen for Zeppelins and at Marske an aerodrome was set up nearby to train pilots.
