Saltburn Smugglers Heritage Centre, was located in Old Saltburn, next to The Ship Inn. Set in converted fisherman's cottages, the centre depicted the history of 18th Century local smuggling. An interactive exhibition skillfully blended costumed characters with authentic sounds and smells reliving the days of smuggling and the story of John Andrew, 'King of the Smugglers' N.B. The Centre suffered from storm damage in 2013 and was subsequently closed.
