Around Redcar

This absorbing collection of archive images provides a nostalgic glimpse into the history of Redcar during the last century. Compiled with over 220 pictures, this wonderful selection revisits the life of the people, and the places in which they lived, that have shaped the seaside town of Redcar and the surrounding area, including the villages of Coatham and Warrenby.

Aspects of everyday life are recalled, from shops and pubs, places of worship and public buildings, to celebrations and events, including the explosion at the Warrenby Ironworks on 14 June 1895. This book will delight those who want to know more about this area of North Yorkshire and evoke memories of a bygone time for those who have lived here.
