Treading Water
Treading Water - Saltburn-by-the-Sea
On the northeast coast of England stands the proud town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea. It has a history of fishing, smuggling and vast amounts of Victorian visitors to its shores. In May 1869 Saltburn pier was opened at a length of 1,500 feet. After a storm had removed 300 feet of the pier in October 1875 and in 1924 being struck by the 'SS Ovenbag' and other numerous storms, the pier (or as I call it 'Old Barnacle Legs') now stands at a length of 681 feet. The pier is indeed treading water.
