About Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough is a Teesside town on the River Tees, built on iron and steel, with a famous transporter bridge and the North York Moors close behind.

Middlesbrough lies on the south bank of the River Tees in north-east England, historically in Yorkshire. It grew from a farm into a major ironworking town in the nineteenth century after ironstone was found in the Cleveland Hills, and its bridge-building firms worked on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Tyne Bridge.
