As potential beach huts go this ex mortuary in Saltburn, where the bodies of drowned seamen were once brought, is not the most obvious choice for a relaxing day at the seaside.

As well as the stone slab, the mortuary also boasts a sinister hook hanging from the roof beams and a wooden gurney once used to lay out drowned mariners for which the mortuary was built in 1881.
Local historians say bodies lost at sea tended to arrive at the point on the seafront due to prevailing tides and corpses were still be recovered to there in the 1960s.
