Although Middlesbrough originated from the 12th century as a religious settlement sited between Durham and Whitby, it was not until the 1830s in which Joseph Pease of Darlington proposed plans for a town on the banks of the River Tees. Middlesbrough was founded to supply labour for the shipment of coal, termed as ‘Port Darlington’ and the Darlington-Stockton railway extended. The new town experienced a rapid growth during the early years with the population increasing from 40 people in 1829 to 7,600 in 1851.

It was the discovery of iron ore in the Cleveland Hills in 1850 which truly defined Middlesbrough. As the coal market faded, iron grew in demand to supply developments in the rail industry and it was not long until iron foundries and blast furnaces appeared across Teesside. The rise of the steel industry meant the iron years were short lived and Middlesbrough had to swiftly adapt. 2015 has seen the collapse of steel in Teesside, destined to another period of transition.

Albert Park was donated to the people of Middlesbrough in 1868 by Henry Bolckow, one of the founders of the iron and steel industry on Teesside. The park covers an area of 30 hectares in the centre of Middlesbrough. The Park is Middlesbrough's only Grade II listed Park in the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest. There are a wide range of facilities available within the Park including a Visitor's Centre, Roller Skating Rink, Cafe, Swan hire on the Lake, Tennis Courts, Bowling Greens, Play Areas, Bandstand and much more. Some activities are seasonal so we recommend phoning in advance of your visit. Additional points of interest include the Bandstand, a statue of Brian Clough, the sundial, South African War Memorial and a canon from the Crimean War. Ambiguous tribute to former mayor Henry Bolckow, founder of Albert Park in 1868) Adaption • Albert Park established as a place of historic interest and an ever-present public space following it’s opening in 1868 by mayor Bolckow • Principal approach from Linthorpe Road • Skewed rectangular plan divided into quadrants by 1850s 1914 axial paths – A layout still present today • The park has provided various recreational activities following it’s conception, including archery, cricket, boating, skating, golf, and children’s play areas Ordnance survey maps demonstrating the occurrence of a predominant axis intersecting the site 1890s 2015 Existing site Typological study • The character of Albert Park is made up of the formal designed landscape covering an area of just over 71 acres (28.4 hectares). • Relatively level topography and unobstructed surroundings • Integrating the urban fabric with landscape and biodiversity • Strongly influenced by seasonal changes – Summer sees the site full of life and colour with the trees in full growth while the bare branches of the winter exposes the park Annual sunpath (left) Principally landscaped area with several built interventions located within the site • Natural habitat for plants, birds, squirrels, and lake wildlife Indicative site section (below) • East lake denotes end of the journey through the park offering panoramic views Initial site response Teesside Modern sport University campus 1.

    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.

Stephen James Abstract The dramatic expansion of the iron industry in Cleveland from 1850 propelled the district briefly to the position of the world’s largest iron-producing centre and brought about the formation of a major industrial cluster in a previously unindustrialised area. By the end of the 1870s, however, its prosperity was threatened by developments in steel-production technology and the growth of iron and steel output in the US and Germany.
