Brotton is a town in the parish of Skelton and Brotton, in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland and ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It is approximately 2.5 miles (4 km) southeast of Saltburn-by-the-Sea [1], and 15.2 miles (24.5 km) east of Middlesbrough [2]. In 2002, the town had a population of 5,384. [3]
The name of the town literally means, "town on the brow of a hill", and was mentioned in the Domesday Book. Over recent years it has become isolated because of a bypass which was opened in 1998 between the villages of Skelton-in-Cleveland and Carlin How.
Brotton has a church called St Margaret's, as well as a large street of shops known as the High Street. It is very close to the historic seaside town of Saltburn which is well renowned for its pier, and Guisborough, with ancient Priory and pleasant market. For its size there are many pubs in Brotton, including The Crown, The Green Tree, The Queen's Arms (aka "The Bloodtub") and The Ship.
