The village of Skelton-in-Cleveland has a documented history that spans eleven centuries. That history, and its associated heritage, is explored in this book. It has been produced by members of Skelton History Group for the Skelton Townscape Heritage project, which provided the financial support. The chapters cover topics such as:
The Victorian shopping experience
The heritage displayed on the mosaic mural
The archaeology of the medieval borough
The fun of a medieval-themed summer’s fete
The varied architecture within the Conservation Area
The creation of the trail of twenty-seven mosaics
The arrival and impact of the railways
The social changes experienced by the families of the ironstone miners, who came by the thousand to work “down the pit”
