Michelle, what a very odd thing to do! I’ve been visiting Saltburn for decades: no idea why or how I made this strange mistake. My elderly mother who’s being going a lot longer than I have said “of course it’s Saltburn-by-the-sea!”

With hyphens? I’m assuming yes?

Thank you SO much!

Yes Ian, anything south of the river Tees is the North Riding of Yorkshire. It is interesting to see that our council – Redcar & Council write their address as North Yorkshire. It’s all very confusing changing from Teesside to Cleveland now North Yorkshire or even Tees Valley. However one thing is clear, it’s Saltburn-by-the-sea. Perhaps the title of this page might be put right please?

The ‘North Riding’ is still how I think of it. North Yorkshire is just a vague generic name adopted by the council c.1974 . Why throw away a thousand years of history for that I wonder?

You’re right I missed out the hyphens. But isn’t “North Yorkshire” another of those new-fangled names…? :)

I enjoyed this exhibition and the coffee! However the town is still called Saltburn-by-the-sea, it’s never been “on-sea” and it will always be in North Yorkshire no matter how many times the area is managed by different borough councils Gary.

So it was! :)

Going there tomorrow for more photos and a visit to the Gallery on Marske Rd, plus a peek at how The ArtBank is progressing. Will let you know, of course.

Thanks so much for posting this. Makes me want to go ‘home’: I grew up in Saltburn. In those days we called it Saltburn by the Sea. And when I was born it was in the North Riding of Yorkshire!

[...] at a guess, but the owner’s label has long since disappeared. It was exposed a second time at Saltburn on Sea this summer. Here’s the whole lot, with just the boring ones or duplicates (yes!) removed. [...]

Was on the N York Moors/Cleveland Way today. Magnificent 10-mile views, and the light was lovely. All the heather is out, and the purple and greens are so vibrant you can almost hear them. Shorn sheep wandering nonchalantly across the road. A bonny day.

But yes, the coast. Every day I am here I love it more.
