Summary
| Description |
English: Town Hall, St. Hilda's In 1801 Middlesbrough was a farming hamlet of just four houses occupying this slight hill overlooking the Tees estuary. In 1831 there were 154 inhabitants and ten years later 5,463. These were housed in a "new town" of cheap back to back houses built by the developers of the coal port on the Tees at the terminus of the extension of the Stockton and Darlington Railway which was opened in 1830. The new town was set out in a grid iron pattern with North, East, South and West Street radiately from a central square where the town hall and market was.
In the 1970s it was cleared and rebuilt with the "modern" housing with the town hall being saved. But these houses, seen in the background, are in turn being demolished to make way for 21st century redevelopment. |
