About Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough is on the River Tees’s southern bank, west of Redcar and east of Stockton-on-Tees . Until the early 1800s, the area was rural farming land . By 1830, a new town and port had begun to be developed, driven by coal industry and later ironworks . Steel production and ship building began in the late 1800s and remained associated with the town until post-industrial decline occurred in late twentieth century .
