Redcar By The Sea Cleveland
U K
A seaside town in the North East of England named after
the Redcar rocks, which were petrified giant redwood trees
millions of years ago. Redcar started as a fishing village.
Of interest is the oldest Life boat in the world, built
in 1802 and saved 502 lives. Redcar race course was built
in 1875 and boasts of the only straight mile in England
and 18 troopers of the Light Brigade that survived the charge
came from Redcar.
Redcar Clock was built in 1911 to honour King Edward V11's
coronation, who was a regular visiter to Redcar. |
