[6] The name is thought to derive from Old Norse, where the Kettle part comes from the word Kettil which describes a pot or cauldron.

[7] Kettle Ness is at the eastern end of Runswick Bay, and the cliffs rise to over 375 feet (114 m) above sea level.

[19] This served the nearby village of Goldsborough too, and in 1911, the North Eastern Railway estimated the local population to be 54 people.

[20] Both the station and railway line were closed in May 1958 due to the high costs of maintenance on the tunnels and bridges.

[32] The villagers had enough time to evacuate as the landslide was quite slow moving, and they sought refuge on a ship (The Henry), anchored in the bay that had come to load up with alum.

[35] Besides alum and ironstone mining, the cliffs have supported a small jet industry, which still entices people to look for the stone along the headland.

[39] The other mine was located west of the hamlet and operated between 1910 and 1915, with the ironstone being forwarded to Skinningrove Ironworks by rail.

[44] In the 1950s, a vicar supposedly met the barghest that haunted the area around Kettleness, and used holy water to banish the spirit.
