Book synopsis

Middlesbrough may have have only been a hamlet in the early nineteenth century, but that all changed with the advent of the Stockton & Darlington Railway, which led to the former farmstead soon becoming a centre of industrial activity. It is also home to many impressive works of architecture, including Acklam Hall, built in 1678, the Transporter Bridge and the Tees Newport Bridge, both testaments to the town's industrial past. Middlesbrough can also boast much musical and artistic heritage, with its Institute of Modern Art containing world-famous pieces by Picasso and Andy Warhol. Yet away from these tourist honey-spots are the lesser known trails and facts of the town and its history. Secret Middlesbrough dives into this hidden past, and reveals tantalising tales, traditions and titbits that will fascinate anyone interested in this riverside town.
