Redcar is a seaside resort in the north east of England, and a major town in the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire. It lies 7.5 miles (12.1 km) east-northeast of Middlesbrough by the North Sea coast. The combined population of the wards of Coatham, Dormanstown, Kirkleatham, Newcomen, West Dyke and Zetland was 36,610 in the 2001 census.

With the opening of the Middlesbrough to Redcar Railway in 1846,^[1] Redcar became a resort for Victorian tourists.

History

Redcar means "(place by the) red marsh" from the Old English rēad "red" and Old Scandinavian kjarr. However the first part of the name could also represent OE hrēod, (reed), giving a sense "reedy marshland", referring to the low lying land by the sea that Redcar lies on.^[2]^[3] Redcar originated as a fishing town in the 14th century, trading with the larger adjacent market town of Coatham.^[3] Until the mid 19th century it was a sub-parish of the local village of Marske-by-the-Sea—mentioned in the Domesday book.

In 1846 work was complete on the Middlesbrough and Redcar Railway, created to attract local tourism and trade,^[4] but like much of the Middlesbrough region, Redcar's real population expansion began with the discovery in 1850 of iron ore in the Eston area of the Cleveland Hills.^[5] With the construction of Redcar Racecourse in 1875, Redcar prospered as a seaside town drawing tourists attracted by its eight miles of sands stretching from South Gare to Saltburn-by-the-Sea.

Redcar and Coatham piers

Plans for Redcar Pier were drawn up in 1866, but they lay dormant until prompted by the announcement of plans in 1871 to build a pier at Coatham.^[5]^[6] Misfortune struck both piers very early in their lives.

Coatham Pier was wrecked before it could be completed when two sailing ships were driven through it in a storm. It had to be shortened because of the cost of repairs and was re-opened with an entrance with two kiosks and a roller-skating rink on the Redcar side, and a bandstand halfway down the pier. In October 1898 the barque Birger almost completely wrecked the pier and the pier was allowed to disintegrate. A glass house for concerts was added to the remains of the pier. In 1928 this was replaced by the New Pavilion theatre becoming the Regent cinema in the early 1960s. An anchor from the Birger can be seen on the sea front pavement opposite the Zetland lifeboat museum.

Disaster struck Redcar Pier in the 1880s and 1890s when a series of ships broke through it. In October 1880 the brig Luna did £1,000 worth of damage and on New Year's Eve in 1885, SS Cochrane demolished the landing stage.^[5] In 1897 the schooner Amarant went through the pier and in the following year the pier head and bandstand burnt down.^[5] In 1907 a pavilion ballroom was built on the pier behind the entrance kiosks and in 1928 the pavilion was extended.^[6] The pier was deliberately breached (sectioned) in 1940 to prevent its use by enemy invasion forces.^[6] As a result of the sectioning, damage by a mine explosion, and deterioration it was never reconnected and was allowed to deteriorate further.^[7] The pavilion continued in use after the war however progressive storm damage to the pier led to it being declared unsafe and it was demolished over the ends of years 1980–1981.^[3]^[5]

Zetland lifeboat

The Zetland, the world's oldest surviving lifeboat built by Henry Greathead of South Shields, and is housed in a sea front museum at Redcar operated by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). The lifeboat was first stationed at Redcar in 1802.^[5]^[8]

Governance

Historically a part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, in 1968 the town became part of the County Borough of Teesside, absorbed by the non-metropolitan County of Cleveland in 1974. Redcar is now situated in the unitary authority of Redcar & Cleveland and in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, and within the region of North East England.

Politically, Redcar has leant towards the Labour Party in parliamentary elections, allowing the town to fall under the category of a safe seat.^[9] From 1987 to 2001, the local MP was the late Mo Mowlam, from 2001 to 2010 the MP was Vera Baird. In the 2010 General Election there was a large swing to the Liberal Democrats with Ian Swales being elected. This was probably partly due to local anger at seeming government inaction over the moth-balling of the Corus Steelworks in Redcar.

The town comprises four wards: Coatham, Newcomen, West Dyke and Zetland. In addition, the suburbs of Dormanstown and Kirkleatham are two wards.^[10] On 5 May 2011, Redcar elected its councillors to Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council.^[11] There was a by-election on 18 November 2011 for two vacant seats in the Zetland ward, held onto by the Liberal Democrats,^[12] and on 19 January 2012 there was a by-election for a vacant seat in Newcomen ward subsequently gained by Labour from the Liberal Democrats.^[13]

Geography

Today Redcar is made up of numerous areas, including Coatham, Warrenby, Dormanstown, Lakes Estate, Redcar East, The Ings, Ings Farm, Mickledales and Westfield.

Economy

The town's main employers in the post-war era were the nearby Teesside Steelworks at Warrenby, founded by Dorman Long in 1917, and the ICI Wilton chemical works. The steel produced at Dorman Long was used to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Tyne Bridge, Auckland Harbour Bridge and many others. After a two-year hiatus following the mothballing of the plant in February 2010, steel is once again being made at Redcar. The Thai owners of the former Corus Plant at Lackenby, Sahaviriya Steel Industries (SSI), re-ignited the blast furnace—the largest in Europe, on 15 April 2012.^[14] Both the Warrenby and Lackenby sites became part of Tata Steel when Corus was taken over in 2007, but continued to trade under the Corus name until at least February 2008. SSI bought the plant from Tata Steel in February 2011, for £320 million.

There is a small inshore fishing fleet in Redcar catching lobster, crab and fish, and offering fishing trips to tourists. As high tide at Redcar now comes up to the sea wall, fishing cobles are permitted to park up with their trailers on a broad section of sea front pavement.

Tourism, leisure and amenities

History

After the opening of the Middlesbrough to Redcar Railway in 1846^[15] Redcar became a regular destination for Victorian tourists. Each year people from North Yorkshire, Leeds and Scotland visited Redcar for their holidays.

From the 19th century to the present day Redcar has featured donkey rides - owned by the Burnistons established locally in antiques and jewellery, scrap metal, mechanics and wool - run today by the sixth generation Ronnie Burniston. In the 1970s there was also trampolining on the beach; the roundabouts and swings were run by showman Victor Vernon and his family who still have rides on the prom.

Ice cream

Redcar's ice cream shops have included Pacitto's, Todisco's, Rea's^[16] and Kings, who also made and sold Redcar Rock. Ice cream is sold on the promenade and a candy floss stall on the beach was also owned by the Burnistons.

The Pacitto family operate two ice cream parlours in Redcar selling their signature cone, the lemon top (dairy ice cream in a cone, with a blob of lemon sorbet on top of it). The family previously also ran the Stray Cafe, and ice cream factory in Redcar, and an ice cream shop in Scarborough.

The owner of Todisco's was one of the numerous Italians in the area sent to Canada during the war. His ship was hit by a German torpedo, and Mr. Todisco drowned. This was a great shock to the locals of Redcar, as even though he was from a country at war with the British, he was well-liked.

The sea front

The sand beach at Redcar stretches approximately eight miles from south east to north west. In the north west the beach runs past Coatham to South Gare breakwater at the mouth of the river Tees. To the south east the sand beach is bordered by the Stray from Redcar's Zetland Park to Marske-by-the-Sea and then continues on to Saltburn. The Stray is a 2-mile (3 km) long public open strip of coastal grassland situated between the beach and the A1085 road characterized by a series of howles (small chines) leading from the grassland to the beach. The Redcar coastline is a prime location for finding fossils of Gryphaea also known as devil's toenails. The main pedestrianised shopping area is based on and around High Street and runs parallel to the sea front Esplanade.

Amusement arcades have existed at Redcar since the building of the Redcar Pier in 1873, and today the arcades are to be found along the Esplanade.

The only cinema in Redcar is The Regent on the sea front in the Coatham area of Redcar.^[17]

Parks

The town has had several parks built for tourism: Coatham Enclosure, Locke Park, Zetland Park, Lily Park, and Amusement Park with its roller coaster. The Amusement Park closed decades ago, and a further small sea front park known locally as Titty-Bottle Park no longer exists as such and in its place on the triangular plot of land on the Esplanade is a red and blue, brick built toilet block and tourist information centre.

Nightlife

As a seaside town, Redcar has long had a number of public houses, bars^[18] and nightclubs. On High Street is Aspire, Martha's Vineyard and The Livery while The Plimsoll Line is notable as the busiest and most popular bar amongst locals mainly due to its cheap price policy.

The seafront and Esplanade is home to some of Redcar's more established haunts including Aruba, The Deck, and Angels—a lap dancing club.

Sea front redevelopment

In 2010 plans for a new vertical pier and a redesign the sea front were put to the people of Redcar & Cleveland Borough.^[19] The plans were accepted and construction started in 2011.^[20] A group The Redcar Pier Association formed in 2011, started a campaign for a traditional, horizontal pier.^[21]

In September 2012 the name of Redcar Beacon was chosen. Other suggested names that made it to the final were : Crow's nest, Jubilee Pier, Lemon Top Tower, Mo's Lookout, Mowlam's Beacon in Tribute to the MP for Redcar Mo Mowlam. Redcar Skelter, Saltscar Tower, Vertical Pier.

Landmarks

There are some twenty three listed buildings in Redcar.^[22] At the west end of High Street is a Grade II listed clock tower,^[23] a memorial to King Edward VII who was a regular visitor to Redcar. This tower has now been refurbished.

On the sea front stands the grand Victorian edifice of the former Coatham Hotel.^[24]^[25] The ballroom of the hotel was home to the Redcar Jazz Club, a popular venue for the up-and-coming bands of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Also on the sea front is the grade II listed Zetland Lifeboat Museum^[26] operated by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) housing the Zetland Lifeboat, the world's oldest surviving lifeboat.

To the east of Redcar is the Church of St. Peter designed by Ignatius Bonomi built 1822-28 and now a listed building.^[27] In the south east of Redcar is an aircraft listening post built in 1916 during the First World War as part of a regional defence system to detect approaching aircraft, principally Zeppelins, and give early warning. The mirror was used up until the invention of radar and although it was built on open fields today a modern housing estate now surrounds it. Only the concrete sound mirror remains and is now a grade II listed building.^[28]^[29]

Transport

Redcar has three railway stations, on the Tees Valley Line served by Northern Rail. From west to east, they are British Steel Redcar, with a very limited service for British Steel workers; Redcar Central, serving the town centre, and Redcar East about a mile to the south east serving the residential area (unofficially) named after the station. There has been local speculation about the development of a new station serving the expanding residential area known as The Ings, supposedly situated between Redcar East railway station and Longbeck railway station in Marske-by-the-Sea, but so far no firm plans have been agreed.^[30]

On weekdays, trains run approximately every half hour in each direction, towards Saltburn eastbound and Middlesbrough, Darlington and Bishop Auckland westbound. There are also two of early morning through trains to Newcastle-upon-Tyne that run via Darlington and on to the East Coast Main Line via Durham and Chester-le-Street. Trains are less frequent in the evenings and at weekends.

The main roads through the town are the A1085 and the A1042, with the A174 bypassing. Redcar is served primarily by Arriva North East buses, connecting Redcar with the surrounding towns and villages of Middlesbrough, Guisborough, Eston, Marske-by-the-Sea, New Marske and Saltburn.

The Pangea North and CANTAT-3 submarine telecommunication cables both come ashore between Redcar and Marske-by-the-Sea.^[31]

Education

The town's college is Redcar & Cleveland College; the building opposite the college is Redcar Adult Learning Centre. Although most people think it is part of the college it is a separate entity, and has a couple of rooms at Coatham school. The town's secondary schools are: Redcar Community College (formerly West Redcar School), Sacred Heart RC Secondary School and Rye Hills School. There are eight primary schools in Redcar.

Sport

Redcar has a Motorcycle speedway racing team, the Redcar Bears racing in the Premier League. The race track is at the South Tees Motorsport Park in Southbank Street, South Bank and is unusual in that one bend is more highly banked than the other.^[32] The team is captained by 1992 World Champion Gary Havelock and managed by his father Brian. A junior team known as the Cubs also race in the Conference League. Redcar Rugby Union Football club plays at Mackinlay Park.^[33]

In Coatham in the west of Redcar is Cleveland Golf Club, the first golf club to be formed in Yorkshire and one of the few link courses in the country.^[5] Also in Coatham is Redcar Cricket Club^[5]^[34] and Redcar Running Club.^[35]

Notable people

This was formerly known as the Hawthorne Cafe. The surviving negatives of Redcar photographer Alfred Edward Graham (1882–1945) were acquired by Redcar Urban District Council's Library and Museum Committee and are now held by the Redcar and Cleveland Museum Service.^[37]
