Skinningrove is a village in the civil parish of Loftus, in the Redcar and Cleveland district, in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England.

[3] The village had an agricultural and fishing economy until the opening of local ironstone workings in 1848 initiated an industrialisation boom.

Graham Hill, the science officer at the Deep, an aquarium in Hull, said that he had never heard of another oarfish being caught off the coast of Britain.

The bonfire was axed for good from 2023 due to safety concerns, and local infrastructure being unable to cope with the large crowds.

[7] Photographer Chris Killip created an unpublished photo series about the town's residents in the early 1980s, about which the American filmmaker Michael Almereyda produced a short film.
