Middlesbrough is largest town in northeast England, growing rapidly in the 19th century from a small village to a large industrial settlement on the River Tees, built to ship coal from the newly arrived railways. New industries such as iron and steel production and shipbuilding followed and the wealth generated in Middlesbrough can be seen today in its buildings, and although many industries have disappeared today, they too have left a legacy of remarkable structures in the area, alongside new buildings that represent modern Middlesbrough. From the ancient parish churches and manor houses, through the Victorian industrial age to the modern galleries, this exciting and vibrant town has much offer. Among the remarkable buildings and structures in this book are the imposing Victorian town hall, Binns Department Store, the iconic Transporter Bridge, and the Newport Bridge, the Riverside Stadium, the 21st century, MIMA (Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art) gallery, as well as buildings with stories to tell of everyday life in Middlesbrough such as the pub, library, hospital, dockyard, and many more. Middlesbrough in 50 Buildings explores the history of this fascinating town through a selection of its most interesting buildings and structures, from its early pre-industrial days, its massive development as an industrial settlement and the changes that have taken place in Middlesbrough in recent years. The book will appeal to all those who live in Middlesbrough or who have an interest in the town.
