Along the Howl: Echoes of Old Marske

Marske can justly claim to be among the oldest settlements on the Cleveland coast. The lonely tower of St Germain, with its small cemetery, stands upon ground that has been holy for some fourteen centuries, the first church being raised there in the Saxon age.

For many generations, worshippers from Redcar and Coatham made their w ...

The Parched Pond of Margrove

Two swans drift across the shrunken waters of Margrove Pond, looking strangely out of place in a wetland that has seen so much reshaping and had so much optimism. This 18-acre site, given to the Cleveland Wildlife Trust in 1993, lies on land once called “The Carrs,” a name that simply meant swampy ground.

The swans glide where I guess the clay was once gouge ...

The Lingdale Mine Disaster of 1953

On this day in 1953, Cleveland suffered its worst ironstone mining disaster. At Lingdale Mine, an explosion claimed the lives of eight men. The blast was sparked when the flame of an acetylene lamp ignited gas released by a rockfall deep underground.

Cattersty Sands looked perfect this morning. The sun was out, the beach was almost empty, and the North Sea glittered like it wanted to be inviting. It was not. Nobody so much as dipped a toe in. I had half expected to see someone bobbing about in neoprene ...

Huntcliff: A Roman Lookout Lost to the Sea

It’s been a lovely day at the seaside, but I my eyes were drawn to Huntcliff Nab, the huge beetling cliff that towers over Saltburn. It's made of soft shales and is slowly being worn away by the sea and wind.

I imagined what the headland would have looked like almost two millenia ago, when the Romans built a lookout station on top of it. How much has disappea ...

Cuckoos on the Move as Cyclists Battle Up Saltburn Bank

In the women's race of the Cleveland Classic, competitors ascend the formidable Saltburn Bank at the first of the event's four laps.

Cycling here, my ears were tuned keenly for that distinctive call of the first cuckoo of the year. Today marks Cuckoo Day, also known as St. Tiburtius' Day, traditionally the day when the cuckoo first sings. However ...
