SKELTON AND BROTTON

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 186 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SKELTON AND BROTTON , an urban
district
  in the
Cleveland
  parliamentary division of the North Riding of Yorkshire, England, 17 M. E. by S. of Middlesbrough by a branch of the North-Eastern railway, with stations at Brotton and North Skelton. Pop. (1901) i3,240. This is one of the largest town-ships in the
Cleveland
  ironstone
district
 , and its industrial
population
  is wholly employed in the quarries. The
modern
  Skelton Castle incorporates
part
  of the ancient stronghold of Robert de Brus who held it from William the Conqueror. A
modern
 
church
  replaces the ancient one, of which there are ruins, and a fine Norman font is preserved. The large ironstone quarries have not wholly destroyed the beauty of the district. The Cleveland hills rise sharply southward, to elevations some-times exceeding'000 ft., and are scored with deep and picturesque glens. On the
coast
 , which is cliff-bound and fine, is the watering-place of Saltburn by the Sea.
