Description: Secret Redcar, Marske and Saltburn, Paperback by Wilkinson, Colin, ISBN 1398114979, ISBN-13 9781398114975, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The town of Redcar and the resort of Saltburn-by-the-Sea, with the adjoining village of Marske-by-the-Sea, lie on an eight-mile stretch of the coast in North East England. In this book author Colin Wilkinson reveals the stories behind how these once small villages along a remote coast grew into the present-day resorts. Centuries ago the beaches were ideal for smugglers. The arrival of the railway in the 19th century brought an influx of visitors and at the same time new industries emerged following the discovery of iron ore in the local hills, bringing in more people looking for work. In the twentieth century war left its mark on the area. In the First World War lookout posts were set up on the beaches, an early warning station was built to listen for Zeppelins and at Marske an aerodrome was set up nearby to train pilots. Depression in the 1930s and postwar industrial decline brought hardship to the area but the holiday industry boomed in the first half of the twentieth century and has seen a resurgence in recent years. Over the course of the last century Redcar has seen the birth of Redcar racecourse, motor racing along the beach, famous visitors such as Emily Pankhurst and Keir Hardy and much tales of remarkable characters, unusual events and tucked away or disappeared historical buildings and locations, Secret Redcar, Marske and Saltburn will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of this corner of the coastline of North East England.
