Loftus is a market town and civil parish in the Redcar and Cleveland borough of North Yorkshire, England.

The finds, which date back nearly 1400 years were discovered by members of the Teesside Archeological Society, led by Dr Steve Sherlock, in a 109-grave site at Street House, Loftus.

Oddfellows were friendly or mutual societies, set up and organised by people from different guilds representing various trades.

Tees Valley Housing Association have now taken over ownership of the building and converted it from a large meeting hall into eight self-contained flats.

The line still operates through the station site, with freight services for Boulby Mine, and occasional passenger 'specials' for rail enthusiasts.

Loftus Town Hall was commissioned by Lawrence Dundas, 3rd Earl of Zetland, erected by a Thomas Dickinson of Saltburn, and was first opened in 1879.

[18] Tees Valley Leisure Limited, which was established in 1999 as an Industrial and provident society, provides a variety of leisure services on behalf of Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council operating for the benefit of the community as a non-profit distributing organisation.

They took over the running of Loftus Leisure Centre, which had been opened in 1981 to provide the community with swimming facilities.
