Pigeon for burning
Every year since 1982, the villagers of Skinningrove have celebrated bonfire night with the burning of a huge figure. In 2017 the figure took the form of a pigeon, commemorating the local custom of pigeon fancying. Seen here in the final stage after two weeks of construction by local artist, Steve Iredale.

The Cleveland Way and England Coast path can be seen steeply climbing up the cliff beyond.
