Description
The mortuary, built in 1881, is located on Saltburn Road in Old Saltburn. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style and features a single cell plan. The exterior is rendered with painted ashlar dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. The gabled west front includes a renewed door with a shaped overlight set in a 2-centred pointed arch. There is a single small light on the south elevation, while the other elevations are blank. The building is supported by angle buttresses with two offsets and sloped coping. The roof is finished with ashlar coping at the east, moulded kneelers, gablets at mid-slope, and a truncated block finial. The interior has not been inspected. Historically, this mortuary was built to accommodate bodies that frequently washed up on the beach and was once part of a group that included a lifeboat house and a rocket brigade house. It is the only building from that group to survive road improvements.
