Description
This fascinating collection of over 200 archive images traces some of the changes that have taken place in and around Middlesbrough during the last century, as many old agricultural communities were swallowed up by the development of modern industry. Each picture is accompanied by a detailed caption, bringing the past to life and describing many aspects of life in the area, including work, industry, sport and local events, providing a rare insight into a vanished way of life. Around Middlesbrough will appeal to everyone with an interest in the history of the town, and will also awaken memories of a bygone time for all who know this beautiful part of Cleveland.
