GV II*
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.
