Description
Saltburn Pier is a pier built between 1867 and 1869 and restored in 1978. It was designed by engineer and building contractor John Anderson for the Saltburn-by-the-Sea Pier Company. The pier features cast-iron flanged pipe uprights, wrought-iron cross-ties and diagonals, and wood deck beams and deck. It is reported to be approximately 207 meters long and consists of 20 triple trusses that are tied and cross-braced by iron bars. Each truss has outer columns that are thrust outwards at the base.
Historically, it is notable as the first seaside pier in the northeast of England. Some steel trestles (Nos 21-30) were renewed and removed during the restoration. Anderson's design may have been influenced by Brunlees' designs for cast-iron railway causeways. The pier was truncated from 457 meters to 381 meters following storms in 1875 and was acquired by the Saltburn Improvement Company in 1879. The ironwork was completed by Messrs Cochrane and Grove of Ormesby Foundry. The pier was shortened again after storms in 1974, but the remaining structure has not changed.
