 Welcome to our page of bed and breakfast in Middlesbrough
! Middlesbrough, on the south bank of the Tees estuary,
was a small fishing village before a group of Quakers associated
with the Stockton & Darlington Railway, decided to turn it
into a town in 1829. By 1830 this famous line had been extended
to Middlesbrough, making the rapid expansion of the town and
port inevitable. By 1851 Middlesbrough's population had grown
from 40 people in 1829 to 7,600 and it was rapidly replacing
Stockton as the main port on the Tees. At the turn of the century
Middlesbrough's population had more than doubled to 90,000 and
it must have been hard to believe that only seventy years earlier
the town did not exist. In English history nothing compares to
Middlesbrough's rapid growth, Middlesbrough has been described
as the `oldest new town' in England. |
