The Tom Leonard Lecture Series continues with our expert speaker Colin Hart who will trace the development of Skinningrove from a small fishing village to the first powerhouse of Cleveland's iron industry.
Colin will cover the development of Skinningrove's mine, the creation of the ironworks, the building of houses, schools and chapels and the lives of people in the village.
Along the way, he will weave in tales of smugglers, pirates, and the legendary Skinningrove merman.
