Maps from the first half of the last century show a Congl. Chap. on Pearl Street at NZ 6645 2150. It hasn't survived, replaced by a block of flats - 2025 Streetview. At the time of writing (2026) it can just be seen on the right at the far end of Pearl Street in a posting on Facebook here.

Emmanuel Church on Windsor Road. NZ 6622 2117. © Steve Bulman. Another view, © Colin Waters Collection (2011), and another © Stuart Leadley (2011), who advises that the church dates from 1869-1879 (J. P. Pritchett), with the tower added in 1898 (Clarke & Moscrop). The Grade II listing has conflicting information, with the church itself given as 1867-9, the tower (amongst other alterations) by William Pitts & Son of Leeds in 1898, and Clarke and Moscrop being responsible for the south porch in 1902. Link. News stories - vandalism, the clean-up, and a lottery grant for repairs.

Leven Street Mission, on Leven Street, as seen by Streetview in 2018. The church website advises that it was previously known as Saltburn Evangelical Church. The date-stone above the window tells us that it was originally a Friends Meeting House of 1887. NZ 6642 2115.

Methodist Church (with spire) on Milton Street stands in front of the earlier church (immediately to the left in the photo). NZ 6638 2147. © Steve Bulman. The earlier Wesleyan Church is seen here, © Colin Waters Collection (2011). Another view, © Stuart Leadley (2011). Stuart advises that the earlier church dates from 1865, by W. Peachey. Following the building of the new church (1905, by Garside and Pennington) it became the Sunday School. The church has been closed, and now converted into a food hall - news story here (with interior photos), says the church was sold in 2024.

Our Lady of Lourdes (R.C., 1928). on Milton Street. NZ 6599 2144. © Stuart Leadley (2011). The porch and shrine, both © Martin Richter (2014). It shows for the first time on the OS map of the 1928 edition, so is probably post-WW1. Link.

Saltburn's Community Theatre on Windsor Street and Albion Terrace was previously a Methodist Church. Although I'd been unable to find any reference to this building's history, the dogged efforts of Janet Gimber unearthed its previous use. NZ 6647 2128. © Steve Bulman. Colin Waters has provided an opening date of 1910, the foundation stone having been laid the previous year. Originally Primitive Methodist, it remained in use until 1969, when the congregation merged with the Wesleyans (above). Two further views - 1, 2, both © Stuart Leadley (2011). Stuart advises that the architect was George Baines.
