Middlesbrough: A Century of Change

Look back at a century in the life of Middlesbrough in this photographic history book from one of the town s most respected authors and historians. Reeling from the end of the Great War, the 1920s in Middlesbrough saw a period of rebuilding and rebirth. The Second World War would bring difficult times to the town, and with the decline in major industry, Middlesbrough s centre was changed forever. Through subsequent decades, see how the town changed as the years passed. From the Victorian architecture now largely lost, and the repeated regeneration of the St Hilda's area, to the new shopping centres, businesses and institutions developed in the latter part of the 20th century. See pictures of Middlesbrough through each of these eras. Much of this book charts living memory for those who will recall the changes in the town, from the loss of much-loved landmarks to the construction of new buildings that have become a part of the landscape.
