- Teddy's Nook
Teddy's Nook is the house built by
Henry Pease in the Yorkshire town ofSaltburn by the Sea in northern England. The sturdysandstone house was first named "The Cottage". The following stories (whether fact or fiction is not known) all relate to this house. When Saltburn Bank was only a track, two eccentric ladies, who lived in the house, kept a lion for a pet. They exercised it on the beach daily and it is said to be buried somewhere in the garden. MrsLillie Langtry (the Jersey Lily) stayed at the house at sometime between 1877 and 1880. She was often visited by EdwardPrince of Wales (lateEdward VII of the United Kingdom ) who had a suite of rooms at theZetland Hotel .The cottage, consequently, became known as Teddy's Nook. In wartime German spies are thought to have contacted ships out at sea by means of flashing lights from Teddy's Nook. The
Kelly family, who leased the house in later years, were cousins ofJimmy Saville who visited regularly.About Saltburn
