Pier. 1867-1869, restored 1978. John Anderson engineer and
building contractor, for the Saltburn-by-the-Sea Pier Company.
Cast-iron flanged pipe uprights; wrought-iron cross-ties and
diagonals; wood deck beams and deck. Reported to be
approximately 207m long. 20 triple trusses are tied and cross
braced by iron bars. Each truss has outer columns thrust
outwards at base.
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.
Anderson's design possibly derived from Brunlees' designs for
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
Grove of Ormesby Foundry. Shortened after 1974 storms but
remaining structure unchanged.
