During the Victorian era The Pease family of Darlington developed an industrial centre, after Iron stone was discovered. Pease set about his vision of creating a beautiful town on the cliff, wand building as many houses as possible with sea views, called Jewel streets, Coral, Garnet, Ruby, Emerald, Pearl, Diamond and Amber Streets.
The town was founded by The Quakers, so there was a ban on public houses, alcohol though could be served in social clubs and hotels. The first public house was opened in 1982, was 'The Victoria. '

The Saltburn Cliff Lift or Tramway, is one of the worlds oldest water Powered Funiculars. It was constructed between 1883 and 1884. Each Car holds 12 people, and have a huge water tank that holds 1.100 Litres of water. The Brakeman controls the water, pumping it into the top lift, and the weight of that going down, causes the other one to be pulled up. The Brakeman controls the speed, and releases the water from the car when it reaches the bottom lightening its load.
