<p>Tyntesfield is a Victorian Gothic Revival country house and estate near Wraxall, North Somerset, England. The house is a Grade I listed building. In the 1830s a Georgian mansion was built on the site, which was bought by English businessman William Gibbs, whose huge fortune came from guano used as fertilizer. In the 1860s Gibbs had the house significantly expanded and remodelled; a chapel was added in the 1870s. The Gibbs family owned the house until the death of Richard Gibbs, 2nd Baron Wraxall in 2001.<br />
<br />
Tyntesfield was purchased by the National Trust in June 2002, after a fundraising campaign to prevent it being sold to private interests and ensure it would be open to the public.</p>

<p>The entry/exit to Saltburn railway station, showing the ornate façade of the station<br />
The station was first opened to passengers in 1861.  The NER refers to North Eastern Railways, S &amp; DR is the Stockton and Darlington Railway, and LNER  refers to the London and North Eastern Railway<br />
From a personal point of view, my Grandmother's flat overlooked the railway station (we were packed off to grandma's for the summer holidays during the 60s - it is where I watched the 1966 World Cup Final between England and West Germany).<br />
Also, my Grandfather worked as a guard on the railway out of Saltburn for 50 years<br />
Now, the station is very different - housing many small businesses, but still retaining the classic façade<br />
