Cat Nab 3

Another angled view of Cat Nab,  looks quite different a long the front, The Archive asked: “What are the buildings?”  The only one that stands there now is the old mortuary.  Look at that beautiful long pier. Callum Duff assisted with: ”The three buildings to the right of Cat Nab are (L-R); The Mortuary, The Rocket Brigade and Saltburn Lifeboat Station. The Lifeboat station was demolished not long after 1924 when Saltburn’s last lifeboat ‘The Mary Batger’ was sold. It was also removed to facilitate the widening of the road. The Rocket Brigade was a land to sea rescue unit which I assume was replaced over time by more modern rescue techniques. This building also appears to have been lost due to road widening leaving the Mortuary which stands to this day. The Mortuary was recently sold and at the time of writing, it’s future use is unknown.”
