A masterplan being drawn up anticipates a range of improvements being delivered across the foreshore area of the town
- The entrance ways to the Valley Gardens, where a project has been restoring the grade II listed Albert Memorial.
The memorial, which had fallen into disrepair, was originally the entrance portico to Barnard Castle’s first railway station, built in 1856, but was later dismantled, transported and reassembled in Saltburn 11 years later at the behest of Henry Pease, a director of the Stockton and Darlington Railway and founder of the Victorian town.
He said: “There has been inadequate maintenance provision for the town, particularly as it is a major tourist destination. One of the challenges the authority faces is that it has many aspirations, but not the ability to deliver against them in a reasonable timescale. Some of this funding has already been allocated to finishing off the Albert Memorial restoration project, which in itself is years behind its time.
