Green's Stone is a prominent coastal feature located in Yorkshire, England. Situated on the picturesque Yorkshire Coast, it is specifically found on the northeast side of the headland known as Filey Brigg. This natural formation is predominantly made up of limestone and is renowned for its distinct shape and size, standing approximately 15 meters tall and jutting out into the North Sea.

Green's Stone is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike due to its breathtaking views and unique geological characteristics. The headland and point provide an ideal vantage point for observing the stunning coastal scenery and the surrounding area. Visitors can witness the crashing waves of the North Sea against the rugged cliffs, as well as take in panoramic vistas of the coastline stretching for miles.

Aside from its natural beauty, Green's Stone also holds historical significance. It has been suggested that the stone may have served as a navigational marker for sailors in the past, guiding them towards the safe harbor of Filey Bay. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that the stone is often referred to as a "daymark" by local fishermen, which is a traditional term for a navigational aid.

Overall, Green's Stone is an awe-inspiring coastal feature that combines natural beauty, geological interest, and historical importance. Whether one is a nature enthusiast, history buff, or simply seeking a tranquil spot to enjoy the stunning Yorkshire coastline, Green's Stone offers a captivating destination for all.

Coatham promenade Approaching the Regent Cinema. Once past that you are in Redcar proper. Coatham was in Kirkleatham parish, but became a separate civil parish in 1899, when it was added to Redcar Urban District. It became fully merged with Redcar in 1921.

Blue plaque on the Regent Cinema Coatham was in Kirkleatham parish, and evidently tried to be a separate resort from Redcar. The demise of the pier in 1898 was closely followed by the incorporation of Coatham into Redcar Urban District in 1899.
