Cricket was first played in Middlesbrough in 1844, but it was football that really captured the town’s imagination.

    CONTAINS PULLOUTS Spatial Adjustments in the Teesside Economy, 1851-81. I. Bullock. NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ---------------------------- 087 12198 3 ---------------------------- A Thesis Submitted to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of PhD, Department of Geography 1970a ABSTRACT. This study is concerned with spatial change in a reg, - ional economy during a period of industrialization and rapid growth. It focuses on two main issues : the spatial pattl-rn of economic growth, and the locational adjustments induced and required by that process in individual sectors of the economy. Conceptually, therefore, the thesis belongs to the category of economic development studies, but it also makes an empirical contribution to knowledge of Teesside in a cru- cial period of the regionts history. In the first place, it was deemed necessary to estab- lish that economic growth did occur on Teesside between 1851 and 1881. To that end, use was made of a number of indirect indices of economic performance. These included population change, net migration, urbanization and changes in the empl. oyment structure of the region. It was found that these indicators provided evidence of economic growth, and evide- nce that growth was concentrated in and around existing urban centres and in those rural areas which had substantial mineral resources. To facilitate the examination of locational change in individual sectors of the economy - in mining, agriculture, manufacturing and the tertiary industries -, the actual spa- tial patterns were compared with theoretical models based on the several branches of location theory. In general, the models proved to be useful tools for furthering understand- ing of the patterns of economic activity and for predicting the types of change likely to be experienced during industr- ial revolution.

  • 2014 Annual Newsletter
    THE FRIENDS OF LINTHORPE CEMETERY & NATURE RESERVE YEARLY NEWSLETTER – JANUARY 2014 Welcome to an update from The Friends of Linthorpe Cemetery and Nature Reserve. It has been an extremely busy and productive year and we have been pleased to have seen so many people come to this valued green space throughout the past months. The year started with the Friends Annual General Meeting on 7 th February. Keith Harker retired as Treasurer and Alison Brown was proposed as the new Treasurer. The Committee members were voted in unopposed and with no further changes. Keith Harker carried out a Winter Bird Count on behalf of the Friends and the findings were passed to the RSPB who are collating information as part of a three year mapping of birds. March saw members of the public helping with our Planting and Clean Up Day which was very much appreciated. Wildflowers and bulbs were planted around the Information Centre and the Butterfly Tree Meadow. The group carried out a detailed survey of people using the cemetery. The results indicated a favourable account of what we are trying to achieve and Peter Kettlewell, former Head of Bereavement Services, accepted the survey which became part of the application for Green Flag status. Peter Kettlewell mentioned that he had a pot of money he had earmarked for the renovaton of a selection of graves. We were constricted by the amount so we were only able to renovate five at the moment but we are delighted that this list may be added to. The memorial to Father Burn, who lies near the Nursery Lane Entrance, was renovated.
