SALTBURN, a village in Brotton parish, N. R. Yorkshire; on the coast, at the terminus of the Stockton and Darlington railway, 5½ miles N E of Guisbrough. It was formerly a small hamlet, but it has acquired importance since the opening of the railway; and it has a head post-office, ‡ designated Saltburn-by-Sea, Yorkshire, a r. station with telegraph, a church, a Wesleyan chapel, and acoast-guard station. The church was built in 1867, at a cost of about £3, 200; consisted then of nave, N aisle, and N transept; was designed to be enlarged with Saisle, S transept, chancel, porch, and vestry, and to have a tower and spire 100 feet high; and is in the early decorated style, more French than English. The Wesleyan chapel was built in 1865, and is in the early English style.
