| book description |
The history of Stockton-on-Tees can be traced from a Saxon settlement, through defences built by Norman invaders, development during the Middle Ages brought by the Prince Bishops of Durham, the growth of ports and shipbuilding yards, the pioneering railway and the emergence of an engineering industry, to the twentieth century and beyond with modern buildings highlighting the changing role of the town. Stockton-on-Tees in 50 Buildings explores the history of this town in County Durham through a selection of its most interesting buildings and structures, showing the changes that have taken place over the years, ranging from the High Street and the impressive Town House, a Georgian theatre hidden away in an old yard and the restored Art Deco Globe, to a warehouse by the River Tees, a reminder of the town’s importance as a port, the world’s first railway tavern, the salt works turned into an RSPB centre, the house used to intercept German wireless signals in the First World War the ancestral home of George Washington’s family in the borough of Stockton, and many more fascinating buildings and structures. This book will appeal to all those who live in Stockton-on-Tees or who have an interest in the area.
