  • Egglescliffe Conservation Area Appraisal
    Chapter CO5: Egglescliffe Conservation Area Appraisal Egglescliffe Conservation Area Page EG1 Plan of Egglescliffe Conservation Area showing listed buildings and areas covered by Article 4 Directions Egglescliffe Conservation Area Page EG2 General Overview of Egglescliffe Conservation Area. Egglescliffe Village is tucked away from many people down a ‘dead end’, and most are unfamiliar with its chocolate-box central green. This has been one of its greatest assets in recent times as it has largely escaped damaging modernisation and redevelopment, leaving behind an intact Georgian village. Egglescliffe is supposed to derive its name from Ecclesia Church-on-the- Cliffe, or, as it has been interpreted by those who claim an earlier origin, Church-by-the-Flood, being Celtic. Whatever the origin of the name, it must not be confused with the more recent development called Eaglescliffe. Historians believe that Egglescliffe was first established some time in the 11th Century as it was mentioned in the Domesday book, which makes it one of the oldest settlements in Teesside. The village layout is typical of many North Yorkshire rural communities where houses and shops were arranged around a central green space, and lesser buildings including farms located on the periphery. Egglescliffe 1895 It is likely that the site was chosen for its defensive position atop a rocky outcrop on a meander of the River Tees, which also happens to be the lowest crossing point at low tide. Over the years the trees on the green have matured and provide an attractive environment which, together with the pleasant buildings and the location tucked away from main roads, creates one of the most pleasant villages in the North East.

  • Historical Journey Along the River Tees and Its Tributaries
    Historical Journey along the River Tees and its Tributaries Synopsis The document describes a virtual journey along the River Tees beginning at its source; the perspective is as much historical as descriptive of the current scene. Where significant tributaries join the river, they also are tracked back to their start-points. Particular attention is paid to bridges and watermills because of their intimate associations with the rivers, but nearby buildings, both religious and secular are also given attention. Some people have been specially important to developments associated with the river, and brief biographical notes are provided for them. Finally, I would stress that this is very much a personal account dealing with facets of interest to me during the 30 years or so that I spent living and working near the River Tees. Document Navigation I do not provide either a contents list, or an index, but to aid navigation through the document I give here page numbers, on which some places appear first in the text.
