Middlesbrough. Middlesbrough, on the south bank of the Tees estuary,
was a small fishing village before a group of Quakers associated
with the Stockton & Darlington Railway decided to turn it
into a town in 1829. By 1830 this famous line had been extended
to Middlesbrough, making the rapid expansion of the town and
port inevitable. Middlesbrough is located on the A19, 4 miles
east of Stockton on Tees, 16 miles from Darlington and 9 miles
from Hartlepool. Photo

Stockton on Tees. Stockton-on-Tees Durham lies opposite Middlesbrough,
on the northern bank of the River Tees, 10 miles from its North
Sea mouth. Stockton on Tees is on the A 66, about 4 miles west
of Middlesbrough. Stockton grew up around the castle of the bishops
of Durham, and was originally a market town for the surrounding
agricultural area. The main impetus came in 1825 when the town
was linked to the Durham coalfield by the Stockton and Darlington
Railway. Book: Middlesbrough
