Saltburn Pier, Lower Promenade, Saltburn, - the most Northerly surviving British pier. Built in an exposed position and facing due north into the unforgiving North Sea, the pier recently underwent a major restoration programme to return it to its former glory. Work included stabilising the foundations, replacing the decaying steel beams with hardwood, and re-laying over 5 miles of decking. It was officially re-opened to the public on 13th July 2001.
