Well-known local historian and broadcaster Paul Menzies has drawn extensively on his many years of research and long associations with Middlesbrough to produce this new history book on the town.
This ‘never seen before’ work offers a unique selection of images, many in colour for the very first time, which together with detailed insights into the town’s history, provide a landmark contribution to the rich heritage of the region.
With over 350 images, the book is printed in a large landscape format and covers themes such as the town’s historic (and lost) buildings, industry, wartime, important events, each with supplementary material such as newspaper clippings, advertisements and maps. A veritable treasure trove for those who live in or know Middlesbrough well, and something to pass on to future generations.
As well as the images, the book features forewords from well-known Middlesbrough celebrities on what makes it “Their Town”.
